As biology present one of the fundamental pillars of science I cannot segregate my research into any specific category. Thus, it rather combines veterinary medicine and conservation to better understand the vulnerabilities (i.e., diseases) and to further develop regional long-term in-situ conservation measures. Primarily, I am studying the effects of pollution on disease development, individual immunological responses to wider pressures, neurobiology and embryology of sharks, skates and rays. In parallel with that, I am combining extensive field research consisting of underwater studies and fisheries surveys. I never kill, nor harm, any animal for my studies – as all the biological samples came from the by-catch and commercial fisheries we monitor.
