Brad Buckley - Biology
Physiological responses of marine species to elevated temperature and other stressors.
Sarah Eppley - Biology
Ecology and evolution of angiosperms and bryophytes, and understanding the roll of stress in extreme environments.
Dirk Iwata-Reuyl - Chemistry
The chemistry and enzymology of RNA modification.
Annie Lindgren - Biology
Deep sea biodiversity, cephalopod taxonomy and evolution.
Behavior and ecology of invertebrates and fish, especially factors controlling larval dispersal from and recruitment to adult habitats.
Imaging techniques and instruments for bacterial imaging in extreme environments and space.
John Perona - Chemistry
Quantitative biology of the protein translation apparatus.
Physiological response and adaptation to life in extreme environments, particularly in killifish and their larvae.
Ecology, evolution and biodiversity of microbes inhabiting high temperature terrestrial hot springs and deep-sea hydrothermal vents.
Amie Romney - Director
Developmental embryology, genomics, proteomics of vertebrates.
Todd Rosenstiel - Biology
Plant-functional biology, biosphere biology, and the interactions between the biosphere and atmosphere.
Ecology and evolution of viruses of the Archaea, transcriptional regulation.
Public understanding of climate change, biotechnology, and environmental risks
Role of marine microorganisms in shaping the Earth System.
