If your interested in how lipids profiles change in Aiptasia based on symbiosis and life stages/reproductive methods, check out this pre-print I'm working on from my thesis. Reach out if you have questions! doi.org/10.21203/rs.... #lipidomics #Aiptasia #symbiosis #development #corals #reproduction

doi.orgAbundance and diversity of lipid compounds in Exaiptasia diaphana is altered as a function of symbiotic state and life stageScleractinian corals engage in an endosymbiotic relationship with dinoflagellate algae to meet their nutritional demands in oligotrophic waters. Algae transfer photosynthetically-derived compounds to ...

Very excited that I got to present on some of my dissertation research at #ICRS2026! This study looked at changes in lipidomic profiles in Aiptasia based on life stages and symbiotic state. Thank you to everyone who came, asked questions, and helped make this moment possible. Kia ora!

I'm excited to finally share my first publication in @peerj.bsky.social from my PhD thesis on the effects of symbiosis and nutrition in Aiptasia! Check it out here: peerj.com/articles/20851. More to come soon! #CellBiology #CoralSymbiosis #MarineBiology #Zoology #CoralPhysiology #SymbioticCnidarians
