The Whitney Laboratory for Marine Bioscience
We miss all of you and as we prepare to be able to deliver our lifelong learning safely at Whitney's Lohman Auditorium, we have launched a short science series virtually to join together!
Please join us for Sip 'N Science - until we can get back together again!
Dr. Mark Martindale, professor in the Department of Biology, has broad training in integrative biology but became interested in experimental embryology as an undergraduate at the New College in Sarasota, Fla. He has published more than 200 papers on a wide variety of topics in some 15 animal phyla, including co-authoring two important genome papers of basally branching metazoans (the anthozoan cnidarian Nematostella vectensis and the ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi) and was the cofounding editor of the open-access journal EvoDevo. He is particularly interested in the relationship of development to regenerative biology, the role of the cleavage program on the origin of spatial organization during the early developmental period, the developmental basis for symbiosis, and manipulating cells to give rise to novel biological materials.
