CORAL INNATE IMMUNITY AND DISEASE
Coral disease has been increasing on reefs due to anthropogenic climate change and other human activities. This is particularly evident in the Florida Reef Tract where the recent outbreak of “Stony Coral Tissue Loss” has devastated reefs. This research aims to understand how the immune system interacts with this and other coral diseases to understand the baseline coral health. We use different ‘omics, and cell biology techniques to investigate the immune health of corals before, during and after disease response.
