Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Dr. Sinlan Poo's research focuses on amphibian and reptile biology, with a specific emphasis on reproductive physiology and conservation. Her work has investigated the effects of age and cryopreservation on sperm quality in endangered species, such as the Mississippi gopher frog (Lithobates sevosus), contributing to captive breeding and reintroduction efforts. She has also explored physiological responses to environmental factors in endangered species, including the use of dermal glucocorticoids to assess the health of the Wyoming toad.

Beyond direct species research, Dr. Poo is involved in broader conservation initiatives. She has examined the integration of data from live zoo collections and preserved natural history museum specimens to advance biological research. Her work also extends to understanding the physiological impacts of captivity, as seen in her studies on immune and stress physiology in tortoise species. Dr. Poo holds an h-index of 12 with 39 publications and 443 citations.
