Dr. Fudge appeared on the podcast “Academic Minute” recently, where he discussed the results of a recent paper led by MSc student Sarah Boggett on the biomechanics of predator-prey interactions between hagfishes and sharks. You can listen to the podcast...
PhD student Sarah Schorno’s latest publication is on the cellular basis of refilling in hagfish slime glands. This paper represents a major leap forward in our understanding of how hagfishes recharge their slime glands after a sliming event. Here is the link to...
The Fudge Lab was awarded a grant from the National Science Foundation for a project entitled “Biogenesis and evolution of hagfish slime and slime glands.” The project is a collaboration with Dr. David Plachetzki at the University of New Hampshire and will...
Fourteen students from Orange High School spent a week with Dr. Fudge, Charlie McCord, and mentor Cathy Trejo learning about Bio-Inspired design. The program, called Inspiring Biology, included visits by biologists Misty Paig-Tran (Cal State Fullerton), Kate Loudon...
How long does it take for hagfish to recharge it’s slime glands? Sarah Schorno’s new paper in the Journal of Experimental Biology has the answer for...
Our paper on the biomechanics of hagfish interactions with toothy predators is now out in the Journal of the Royal Society Interface. This project was led by U of Guelph MSc student Sarah Boggett, Guelph undergraduate Jean-Luc Stiles and was a collaboration with Adam...
Dr. Gaurav Jain will be joining the Fudge Lab in February to work on a hagfish slime biomimetics project. Gaurav got his PhD in Biomedical Engineering at Virginia Tech and he’ll be coming to us from his previous position at NYU.
