WELCOME TO THE MARINE SYMBIOSIS LABORATORY

The Marine Symbiosis laboratory studies the biochemical interactions between the animal host and its intracellular algae. Understanding how cells communicate with one another will help us to understand how a
stable symbiosis is maintained.

Our Research

We have isolated two cell-signalling molecules from P. versipora that regulate carbon metabolism in algae isolated from both corals and zoanthids.
