Congratulations to Dr. Martin Grosell, recipient of the 2024 August Krogh Distinguished Lectureship from the Comparative and Evolutionary Physiology section of the American Physiological Society!

Dr. Grosell is professor and chair of the Department of Marine Biology and Ecology at the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric, and Earth Science in Florida. The Krogh award is sponsored by Novo Nordisk Foundation and is awarded to a member of the American Physiological Society who has made major and meritorious contributions to the field of comparative and evolutionary physiology.

Dr. Grosell presented his research over the years at the 2024 American Physiology Summit in Long Beach, California earlier this month where he received his award.

In a recent press release Dr. Grosell was quoted, “Receiving this award, named after August Krogh, a Nobel Laurate in Physiology or Medicine and one of the most influential scientists in biomedical, comparative, and integrative physiology, is a tremendous honor. I am deeply grateful to the nominators and members of the American Physiological Society for this recognition”

Dr. Grosell’s research examines salt, calcium, acid-base, and water balance in fish as well as the impact of environmental stressors such as pollution on these processes.
