Hi, I am ROMAIN FONTAINE

NEUROENDOCRINOLOGIST

 in the Department of Production Animal Clinical Sciences (PRODMED) at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences (Norway)

About My Research

My research interest encompasses the interactions between the molecular, cellular and physiological levels, and the role that environment play in their regulation. Today, I focus my research on the brain and the pituitary gland and their plasticity which allows differential hormone production, thus allowing the animals to adapt to their environment.

I mainly use transgenesis, tissue labeling and imaging techniques with teleost fish as model organisms.
