Overview

Charles D. Derby is affiliated with Georgia State University in the United States and has contributed significantly to research in neuroscience and environmental science. Their work includes an emphasis on cellular and molecular neuroscience, ecology, and sensory systems, reflecting an interdisciplinary approach within the broader fields of aquatic science and behavioral studies.

Their research spans multiple topics, including neurobiology and insect physiology, crustacean biology and ecology, olfactory and sensory function studies, physiological and biochemical adaptations, cephalopods and marine biology, invertebrate immune response mechanisms, and aquaculture nutrition and growth.

Frequent coauthors in their work include Hanh Ngo-Vu, Mihika T. Kozma, Shrikant Pawar, Manfred Schmidt, and Matthew T. Rump.

Charles D. Derby has published extensively in several scientific journals, with recurrent venues including the Biological Bulletin, PLoS ONE, Chemical Senses, Journal of Comparative Physiology A, and Reviews in Fisheries Science & Aquaculture.
