معرفی
Emmanuelle Pales-Espinosa is a Research Associate Professor at Stony Brook University's School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences. Her work focuses on bivalve ecological physiology, particularly particle selection mechanisms in suspension-feeding mollusks, host-pathogen interactions, and responses to environmental stressors like ocean acidification. She also leads aquaculture improvement projects and uses advanced techniques such as RNA-seq and proteomics.
- PhD: University of Nantes
Her research examines cellular and molecular processes mediating food uptake in bivalves, the role of neuropeptides in glucose homeostasis, and environmental impacts on shellfish physiology. Current projects include studying climate change effects on shellfish, marker-assisted breeding for disease resistance, and mucosal immunity in bivalves.
Recent publications highlight her work on ocean acidification's impact on eastern oysters and hard clams, gene silencing effects on biomineralization, and the role of parasites in shellfish population collapses. These studies span marine biotechnology, climate adaptation, and molecular ecology.
She coordinates the 'Meet with an Oceanographer' outreach series at Long Island Aquarium, and collaborates with the Marine Animal Disease Laboratory (MADL) team. Her lab recruits passionate students for research in marine physiology and aquaculture.
Key trends in her articles include climate change adaptation in shellfish, host-pathogen molecular interactions, and genomic/proteomic responses to environmental stressors. She publishes in journals like Marine Biotechnology, Science of the Total Environment, and Frontiers in Marine Sciences.
