Agus Munoz-Garcia, Associate Professor in the Department of Evolution, Ecology, and Organismal Biology at the Ohio State Mansfield Campus, explains his research in physiological ecology, including studies on resource allocation (how animals distribute limited nutrients among different biological functions) using a unique cockroach species that he raises in the lab. He also discusses his current research project with fellow Ohio State Professor Karl Obrietan in the Neuroscience Department, where they are investigating the possible applications of controlling regulatory proteins in the treatment of cancer.
