Dr. Michael R. Minicozzi earned his B.S. in organismal and environmental biology from the State University of New York at New Paltz in 2013, where he studied the effects of bisphenol A on regenerating planaria (flatworms). He then earned his Ph.D. from Northern Arizona University in comparative anatomy and functional morphology of fishes in 2017. Dr. Minicozzi then started his postdoc in the Center for Bioengineering and Innovation at Northern Arizona University, working on the effects of perchlorate and other aquatic pollutants on the behavior and physiology of fishes. Dr. Minicozzi is currently an assistant professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at Minnesota State University, Mankato. His lab presently utilizes his diverse comparative anatomy and ecotoxicology background to answer foundational questions in both fields.
