The evolution of resilience, from molecules to ecosystems
I am a Hope for Reefs Postdoctoral Researcher in the Albright Lab at California Academy of Sciences. My interests lie in the evolution of resilience, from the molecular level up to ecosystems.
Access the new, chromosome-level Acropora hyacinthus genome assembly here!
I sequence the genomes of captive-bred corals and their wild-caught parents to understand the genomic effects of captive breeding.
I plan to select for heat-tolerant larvae to be raised into heat-tolerant adult corals.
Read our new paper on differences in bleaching recovery in two Acropora species here.
Read our paper on somatic mutations and genome stability maintenance in corals here.
I study the effects of nuclear testing on the genomes of wildlife.
Read our preprint on mutation inheritance in coral soma and sperm, and what it suggests about coral stem cells.
Some of my work has been featured in the media. Here are a few examples:
