The Cammen Lab is excited to welcome Julia Sunnarborg and Dara Yiu, two new PhD students who joined the ME-eDNA research team this summer.
Dara’s dissertation research will be co-advised by Doug Rasher and Kristina Cammen. Based at Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences, Dara’s research will focus on developing and implementing eDNA-based tools to study kelp-forest associated ecosystems.
Julia’s dissertation research will be co-advised by Kristina Cammen and Mike Kinnison. Her research will focus on developing and implementing eDNA-based tools to study seals and their food webs in coastal Maine waters. To learn more about Julia, check out this recent story in the Maine EPSCoR newsletter.
