Professor Steven Vollmer and his co-authors discussed the fossil and genetic context that proves the long-term existence of a specific coral hybrid.

New research by Three Seas Alumnus Nathaniel Chu and Associate Professor Steven Vollmer provides important information about the assemblage of microbes living in association with Caribbean corals.

The diverse assemblage of microbes that inhabit the bodies of all living organisms has been recently called the next great frontier of scientific exploration. The microbes that make up the human microbiome outnumber our own cells 10 to 1, and scientists are only just beginning to understand the role of these microbial mutualists in humans […]

Many coral reefs around the globe suffer from white band disease. Researchers at the MSC are looking into the innate immune system of some of these Acroporid corals.
