A Center of Excellence in
Marine Genomics

The promise of basic research, the basis for discovery...
The Whitney Laboratory for Marine Bioscience is a research institute of the University of Florida.
The Lab’s mission is to use marine organisms in basic biological research, and to apply, where possible,
the novel results of this research to problems of human health, natural resources and
the environment; to train future experimental biologists; and to contribute to public education
and to the formulations of the policy in basic research and marine science.
Animal Models at the Whitney Lab
Marine models provide enormous experimental advantages for studying important biological
questions related to human health. Explore the research at the Whitney Lab.
