Welcome to the Medina Lab! In 2013 we relocated to the Department of Biology at 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.

Our more recent projects are comparative, and we hope to address a series of evolutionary questions in the different invertebrate systems we are studying.

Some of us took a picture during a nice fall afternoon, from left to right Erika, Viridiana, Carlos, Mónica, Bishoy and Ana. Check our members webpage if you want to learn more about us.
