Fabien Brette, fbrette at stanford dot edu
Block Lab

Using physiological and biophysical approaches, I am investigating the mechanisms underlying cardiac excitation-contraction coupling in pelagic fishes.

Carol Reeb, creeb at stanford dot edu
Block Lab

My research centers on ecological and evolutionary genetics of marine species, especially those subject to commercial exploitation.

Steve Wilson, sgwilson at stanford dot edu
Block Lab

My research focuses on the movements and ecology of Atlantic bluefin tuna and other large pelagic fishes.

Jody Beers, jbeers at stanford dot edu, 831-655-6238
Somero Lab

I am studying the physiological effects of variable dissolved oxygen and temperature on intertidal and near shore marine animals, with a primary focus on fishes.

Taylor Chapple, tchapple at stanford dot edu
Block Lab


Jonathan Dale, jjdale at stanford dot edu
Block Lab

I am interested in how the ecology and physiology of marine predators shapes their distributions and movement patterns.

Francesco Ferretti, ferretti at stanford dot edu
Micheli Lab    Shark Baselines

My project aims to investigate the structure and population abundance of large sharks in natural ecosystems and to infer global change in their abundance as an effect of human perturbation.

Luke Gardner, lgardner at stanford dot edu
Block Lab

My research utilizes genomics and molecular biology techniques to study physiological aspects of pelagic fishes.

Adrian Gleiss, agleiss at stanford dot edu
Block Lab

I am interested in the interaction of performance constraints (based on physiology and bio-mechanics) and decisions making of animals. At Hopkins, I will study how key performance traits (e.g. aerobic capacity) and environmental variability interact to shape the distribution of Pacific Bluefin Tuna, through a combination of lab and field-based techniques.

Sara Maxwell, maxwells at stanford dot edu
Crowder Lab

My research focuses on dynamic approaches to ocean management by combining multiple disciplines including economics, fisheries, ecology and oceanography.

Luke Miller, millerlp at stanford dot edu
Denny Lab

I am interested in how marine organisms cope with temperature stress in current and future climate conditions.

 

Kerry Nickols, knickols at stanford dot edu
Denny Lab & MLO

I am a marine ecologist and oceanographer, with a strong interest in how nearshore physical processes affect transport of early life stages of marine organisms and other ecosystem commodities.

Jennifer O'Leary, jkoleary at stanford dot edu
Micheli Lab & MLO

I am researching how spatial variation in benthic algal communities affects abalone settlement and population dynamics, and whether ocean acidification might alter the composition of benthic communities.

Benyamin Rosental, benyamin at stanford dot edu
Weissman

Hematopoetic stem cells transplantation and pregnancy immunology, using Botryllus schlosseri alloimmune recognition as a model.

Francois Seneca, fseneca at stanford dot edu
Palumbi Lab

My research interests focus on the molecular stress response in reef-building corals and how they are adapted to their environment.

 

Susanne Sokolow, ssokolow at stanford dot edu
DeLeo Lab

I am a disease ecologist, and I'm very excited to be at Hopkins and talk more with everyone about getting involved in local projects related to disease issues.  My current and past work focuses on the ecology of infectious diseases of aquatic organisms, with projects related to diseases of reef-building coral in the Caribbean, global spread of avian influenza, and the ecology of a human parasitic disease called schistosomiasis in Africa.

Nina Overgaard Therkildsen, nthe at stanford dot edu
Palumbi Lab

My research focuses on how temporal and spatial variation in selection pressures shape the genetic composition of fish populations and on how genetic information can help improve fisheries management.

Nikki Traylor-Knowles,
Palumbi Lab

I am interested in understanding the resiliency and immunity in coral reefs.
