Comparative High Pressure Biology

Philippe Sébert, Ph.D., is Associate Professor of Physiology in the Faculty of Medicine at the Université de Bretagne Occidentale (UBO, Université de Brest, France) where he teaches bioenergetics and physiology. He is the head of the team ORPHY-EA4324 (www.physioloqy-orphy.fr). He has collaborated with a large number of both national and international senior scientists. P. Sébert has presented over 20 invited lectures at international meetings, has published more than 100 research papers and has contributed to several books. His major interest is the effect of high hydrostatic pressure on fish energy metabolism, mainly the migrating eel.
