Using genomics to reveal the mechanisms of resilience: Studies of global change adaptation and sea star wasting disease.

In this talk, I will discuss how we integrate genomic approaches with the ecology and evolution of interesting, ecologically foundational marine organisms to understand if and how they respond to stressors such as ocean warming, ocean acidification, and pathogens. We use field sampling, common garden studies, and experimental evolution to shed light on the mechanisms of resilience in a rapidly changing world. 

Join the Biology department’s bon voyage celebration for Susan DeSimone, Assoc. Lab Professor. Susan has been with department for over 25 years and we will gather to wish her well as she embarks on new adventures.

Population Ecology and Diseases of Fishers in the Northeastern USA

Our work currently includes: (1) comparative microbial ecology focusing on the emergence of pathogens and antimicrobial resistance on farms – with plans to expand our focus; (2) emerging infectious disease discovery; and (3) wildlife disease ecology. 

Specifics of the lecture will be added when available, please check back or check the Biology department events page.
