Research Interests
Our laboratory focuses on biochemical and molecular responses in marine organisms to environmental pollutants and pathogenic organisms. These responses often occur during early stages of disease and can therefore serve as biomarkers or early warning signals of exposure and effects. In addition, biochemical and molecular responses can lead to a better understanding of mechanisms of toxic action and biochemical defense.
