Prof. Hans Laufer is a Research Professor of Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology and Director of Laboratory of Invertebrate Reproduction and Development at University of Connecticut, USA. He received his Ph.D at Cornell University in 1957, MS at Brooklyn College in 1954. Prof. Hans Laufer research interests include gene regulation during development and reproduction, hormonal and molecular interactions and comparative endocrinology of invertebrates, particularly hormones affecting reproduction, morphogenesis and metamorphosis. He is particularly interested in elucidating the signal transduction pathways involved in the regulation of reproductive and developmental events of crustacea and how environmental endocrine disrupting alkylphenolic compounds such as bisphenol A interact with the normal pathways and their hormonal receptors.
