Jeremiah Hackett, Principle Investigator
Assistant Professor
Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology
My research interests are in the areas of genome evolution, the evolution of photosynthesis and the physiology of harmful algae. Part of my research investigates how eukaryotes acquire plastids through endosymbiosis and how this process influences genome evolution through gene transfer. Another main area of research is the ecology and physiology of harmful algae. My lab is using microarrays to determine global gene expression patterns of harmful algae under various growth conditions. These gene expression profiles will be used to determine the factors that lead to harmful algal blooms in the oceans.
