Bio/Research

Dr. Perry joined the Faculty of Science at the University of Ottawa in 1983 as an NSERC University Research Fellow after receiving his Ph.D. in 1981 from the Department of Zoology at University of British Columbia and subsequent postdoctoral training in the Department of Biology at McMaster University. Having served as Chair of the Biology Department (2005-2008), he held the position of Vice-Dean, Research of the Faculty of Science (2009-2011) while maintaining a University Research Chair since 2003. After receipt of a Killam Research Fellowship (2000-2002), Dr. Perry received the Award for Excellence in Research from the University of Ottawa in 2003. Dr. Perry Editor since 2003 of the Journal of Experimental Biology, the flagship journal representing integrative comparative physiology, was elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada in 2008. In 2009, he received the American Fisheries Society Award of Excellence for Fish Physiology (lifetime achievement award).

Dr. Perry’s research focuses on the interactions among gas transfer, acid-base balance and ionic regulation in fish. His basic approach is to integrate techniques from molecular biology, cell physiology and classical whole animal physiology to appreciate the intricate mechanisms that allow fish to inhabit diverse and labile environments. Dr. Perry has published over 275 scholarly articles, book chapters and books since 1978.
