Working with Dr. Nicole Webster to identify microbial biofilms that induce coral larval settlement and how the microbial community effects post settlement survival in coral recruits to enhance coral reef restoration efforts.
Development of a microscale isolation system (SYMBIO-CHIP) that will enable the first in situ cultivation and recovery of recalcitrant sponge symbionts and unravel the microbial functions that support host's health and ecology.
