Our lab welcomes students from all diverse backgrounds and perspectives, and we view this diversity as a resource, strength, and benefit. We are committed to ensuring that people of all genders, sexual orientations, ability statuses, ages, socioeconomic statuses, ethnicities, races, and cultures feel respected and valued.

We use the power of ecological genomics to identify mechanisms contributing to heat stress tolerance in the era of climate change.
Our lab at Sac State focuses on how changes in gene sequence and expression generate patterns of individual and population differentiation in marine organisms. We are especially interested in how environmental conditions such as frequent heat stress in the rocky intertidal zone affect these patterns of differentiation. Our main study organisms are the black turban snail Chlorostoma funebralis, the red abalone Haliotis rufescens, and the intertidal mussel Mytilus californianus.
