Our group employs an integrative and highly interdisciplinary approach to study biological adhesion, biomineralization, and larval behavior in barnacles, crabs and bivalves. We are especially interested in assessing how environmental stressors, such as ocean acidification and global warming, will affect the mechanical, structural and biochemical properties of invertebrate shells and glues.
