Overview
A central focus of the research in my laboratory deals with the use of molecular and genomic
techniques to study marine environments, how the organisms that inhabit them evolved, and how
physical and biological interactions have shaped their life history. We believe that understanding
relationships from populations (species level) to very divergent lineages (kingdom level) is an
essential step towards developing reliable evolutionary and ecological hypotheses that can be
tested experimentally. Once relationships are clearer, interactions can be better understood.
My group aims to develop a research plan to study biological interactions in the sea at the genome
level that will also have a solid evolutionary foundation.
