About Andrea

Andrea is a PhD student in the Biology program. Andrea’s research interests include impacts of contaminants and climate change on marine life, focusing on ecotoxicology and immune responses in marine organisms, as well as conservation of coastal and marine ecosystems. Her current research is focused on evaluating innate immune responses and disease in stony corals, which are being especially affected by environmental factors such as increased temperatures. She believes that understanding the immunological mechanisms through which corals respond to diseases under adverse environmental conditions will help guide conservation efforts for these fragile ecosystems.

Andrea obtained her MS degree in Environmental Toxicology from Clemson University and her BS in Environmental Sciences from Zamorano University.
