About
Here in the Symbiosis Genomics lab we utilise a variety of molecular approaches (transcriptomics, metabolomics, proteomics) to understand how marine organisms, in particular symbiotic organisms such as corals and forams, respond to anthropogenic stressors. Our research links molecular processes to phenotype and ecology, spanning the gap between these disparate disciplines and examines all members of the symbiosis using a systems biology approach. Students and staff in the lab conduct a variety of research both in the laboratory and in the field examining how these symbiotic organism are coping with current day conditions and how they will respond under future climate change scenarios.
Our laboratory includes equipment for DNA, RNA and protein analysis, such as qPCR and PCR machines, bead beater homogeniser, gel electrophoresis systems, a state-of-the-art confocal microscope, and a high-powered computer for genomic sequence analysis.
Our facilities also include a space dedicated to the culturing of zooxanthellae cells and experimentation.
