Specifically, we often focus on exploration of the novel aspects of the biology of fishes to address fundamental mechanistic questions relative to cancer in all species. A secondary focus is toward understanding, at the cellular and molecular level, the world-wide decline of coral reef ecosystems.
Current studies involve the development of immotal cell lines from a number of coral species.
