The Houtz Lab started at Allegheny College in Meadville, PA in Fall 2023! Our lab investigates questions in integrative organismal biology with specific research interests in microbial ecology, stress physiology, behavioral ecology, ornithology, and neuroendocrinology. We currently study physiological mediators of stress resilience in wild birds. The lab prioritizes mentoring undergraduate researchers, teaching, and science outreach.
