Current
position
Senior Fellow
Research interests
- the molecular control of embryonic development in corals.
- the evolution of developmental mechanisms - how the components and function of conserved developmental pathways have changed in the course of evolution.
-
understanding how corals respond to stresses at the molecular level.
