I joined the del Campo Lab as an undergraduate intern during the summer of 2025, where I worked on the comparative transcriptomics of Mediterranean and Caribbean coral holobionts. During my time in the lab, I received training in both wet lab and dry lab methodologies, developing skills in molecular biology, genomics, and bioinformatics. I am particularly interested in how symbiotic interactions shape the response of coral holobionts to environmental stress, and how comparative approaches across biogeographic regions can shed light on these dynamics.
