On my previous M.Sc. research in the Biophysics and BIOMMAR groups at the University of los Andes, we implemented interdisciplinary approaches in order to investigate
the responses of soft corals and their larvae, to acidified environments. In particular, calcification responses and larvae stages development under stress conditions.
My area of expertise in the Biophysics group included, the development and standardization of techniques in epifluorescence microscopy and SPIM microscopy (Selective Plane Illumination Microscopy), for quantifying calcium carbonate incorporated by corals into structures called sclerites, which are believed to be particularly sensitive to ocean acidification effects, as well as observations in vivo of larvae growth, surface attachment and sclerite production, relevant to coral further recruitment.
