Marine Scientist, Auckland University of Technology

I work across broad disciplines in aquatic biology, aquaculture and fisheries, molecular biology, and ecotoxicology, among others. My current research focuses on molecular mechanisms involved during embryogenesis of marine invertebrates, and in response to environmental influences (e.g. ocean acidification, pollution, pathogens). Other research interests include development of new tools for assessing fish and shellfish health, and identifying mechanisms of disease and resistance. I am passionate about marine conservation, and providing guardianship of our seas and oceans.
