Coral Immunity and Disease

Corals and other invertebrates must be able to defend  themselves against infection, predation, competition and abiotic stressors to maintain homeostasis. Much advancement has been made on the elucidation of pathways and phenotypes involved in both resistance to, and active response to infection in corals and other reef inhabitants. We are interested in immunorecognition, signaling pathways, effector responses as well as putting immunity in the context of organismal studies, such as life-history tradeoffs and effects of the environment on immunity.
