My research interest is to describe probable hibernation phenotypes, common to a vast variety of organisms, including humans; with wellâ€known biochemical pathways to pointâ€out specific metabolic trails that may relate to different aspects of hibernation. It can be explained as a strong genetic hibernant machinery inherited since the First Cell, modified by specific environmental conditions required for an appropriate adaptation. Hibernation can be seen as a key energetic survival response common in species from different Kingdoms, developed by them, but phenotypically changes, according to their evolutionary complexity level.
