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.&lt;/p></description></item></channel></rss>
