“Similitude of oxygen and blood flows in animals and why it matters for model species”
KN-12
Prof. Tobias Wang is a world-leading comparative physiologist whose research uncovers evolutionary principles of oxygen transport and blood flow across species. His approach integrates biomechanics, cardiovascular physiology, and evolutionary biology to explain why diverse species develop similar functional solutions for gas exchange and how such convergence enhances animal models in human physiology. His work forms a unique bridge between basic research, translational relevance, and experimental model selection to reveal fundamental design principles of vertebrate circulatory systems.
