Marine Organismal and Biomedical Science

Marine Organismal and Biomedical Sciences (Crawford, Fieber, Grosell, McDonald, Oleksiak, Schmale, Wood) seeks to understand the molecular, physiological and evolutionary processes that contribute to how animals function with an emphasis on environmental interactions and the use of marine organisms as models of human health and disease.  This research integrates physiology, neurobiology, population biology, genomics, molecular biology, pathology, pharmacology and toxicology to understand physiological and evolutionary processes, diseases, aging, and stress.
