Specialty<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Immunotoxicology and comparative immunology in coastal and marine organisms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Professional Experience & Qualifications<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • BS in Marine Science and Biology at the University of Miami<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • PhD in Biological Sciences at Clemson University<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Research Area<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    This research group broadly studies immunotoxicology and comparative immunology in coastal and marine organisms. They are especially interested in multistressor scenarios that capture the realities of what organisms contend with in their environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Active research includes: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • PFAS in the Long Island Sound<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Multistressor impacts on fish immunity<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Humoral immune responses in sea turtles<\/li>\n\n\n\n
