MSC faculty research highlights how a local seaweed species may be used to absorb toxins such as PCBs from marine sediments.

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 […]

A recent faculty publication examines the unique roles played by two co-occurring foundation species in mangrove forests, revealing that not all foundation species are created equal.

Does temperature matter to a seaweed? Research by Helmuth Lab graduate student Nicholas Colvard suggests that it does - with tide cycles and climate change as important factors to consider.
