STEM CELLS IN CORALS AND SEA ANEMONES
In this research program are developing robust tools for the isolation, characterization, and transplantation of coral stem cells. These tools are species non-specific, and therefore widely applicable. We are developing generalized strategies for isolating cell-type enriched cell populations, especially stem cells, in anemones and stony corals. In collaboration with Rosental Lab at Ben Gurion University of the Negev we are developing cell transplantation techniques for engraftment in non-model species. Being able to isolate, manipulate, and replace stem cells in diverse species will assist in efforts to understand how the developmental programs that construct or regenerate an organism function. Being able to transfer stem cells from a stress-resilient coral to a sensitive one will assist in understanding the mechanisms governing stress tolerance.
