Dr. Reynaldo Patiño's research interests are ecophysiology, ecotoxicology, fisheries, aquaculture. He focuses on the reproductive biology of animals as it concerns basic and applied sciences, including fish culture, management, and conservation, examining the hormonal, cellular, and molecular regulation of ovarian follicle development, maturation, and ovulation; reproductive toxicology and ecotoxicology; and the physiological and environmental regulation of sex determination and differentiation.

Dr. Patiño is a member of the American Fisheries Society, serving as a previous Vice President, President, and Past President; Phi Beta Delta Honor Society for International Scholars; the Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry; the World Aquaculture Society; and the Society for the Study of Reproduction. He was awarded the Distinguished Graduate Award from Oregon State University Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (2004), Outstanding Fisheries Worker of the Year in Research by the Texas Chapter of the American Fisheries Society (2001), and the Special Achievement Award by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (1993, 1992).
