Welcome to the Medina Lab. We have just relocated to Penn State University. We are excited to have joined a growing team of marine biologists and symbiosis researchers on campus.

Our group has been studying coral-algal-microbial interactions for several years. We use a combination of ecological, physiological, and genomic techniques to understand  these interactions.

Going back to our roots, our projects are turning increasingly comparative and we hope to address a series of evolutionary questions in the different invertebrate systems we are studying.
