"Michael is a Senior Lecturer in Animal Sciences in the Department of Evolution, Ecology and Behaviour at the University of Liverpool, UK. He obtained his PhD in Germany in 1994 at Düsseldorf University. He then worked for six years in the group of Norbert Heisler at Humboldt University in Berlin. In early 2001 he moved to his current position in the Institute of Integrative Biology at the University of Liverpool, after having collaborated with Andrew Cossins there for several years. Michael is interested in the diversity of physiological mechanisms that animals employ in different environments or with different life-styles. The focus of his work is on the respiratory system of vertebrates, particularly the evolution of blood oxygen and carbon dioxide transport mechanisms and haemoglobin function."
