The Whitney Laboratory for Marine Bioscience
Whitney Laboratory for Marine Bioscience is a full-time University of Florida research center for biomedical research and biotechnology located in St. Augustine, Florida. Founded in 1974, the Whitney Lab is dedicated to using marine model animals for studying fundamental problems in biology and applying that knowledge to issues of human health, natural resources, and the environment. Researchers at the lab are on the front lines of a variety of scientific areas including biodiversity, ocean health, marine chemistry, neuroscience, sensory biology, evolutionary genomics, embryology, and cell regeneration – working to Go Greater for all of us.
Research at the Whitney LabDr. Veronica Hinman will take the reins at the laboratory on January 1, 2025. “Dr. Hinman is both a highly accomplished scientist and an experienced and respected academic leader, a combination of strengths that perfectly positions her to guide the Whitney Lab to greater prominence as one of the nation’s top marine science laboratories,” said UF Provost Scott Angle.
