Yuanning Li, Michael Tassia, Damien S. Waits, Viktoria E. Bogantes, Kyle T. David And Kenneth M. Halalnych
Yuanning Li is a Postdoc currently at Vanderbilt University. He is broadly interested in using genomic tools to understand evolution of deep-sea chemosynthetic organisms and animal phylogeny.
Michael Tassia is a PhD Candidate in the Department of Biological Sciences at Auburn University interested in the evolution of immune systems across invertebrate animals. In particular, his research centralizes on the invertebrate group, Hemichordata, and the innate immune system they share with their mammalian cousins.
Damien S. Waits is a Research Associate in the Department of Biological Sciences at Auburn University, His work involves supporting bioinformatic projects across Auburn University's campus. He is interested in symbiosis and the role contaminant sequences play in high throughput sequencing data.
Viktoria E. Bogantes is a PhD Candidate in the Department of Biological Sciences at Auburn University. She is interested in assessing diversity, biogeography and systematics of particular annelid groups by using integrative taxonomic approaches.
Kyle T. David is a PhD student in the Department of Biological Sciences at Auburn University. He is interested in bioinformatic methods for exploring molecular evolution, particularly with regard to historically understudied non-vertebrate clades.
Kenneth M. Halalnych is The Stewart W. Schneller Endowed Chair in the Department of Biological Sciences at Auburn University. He is broadly interested in the evolution of marine invertebrates using genomic tools.

Genomic study of tubeworms reveals clues on how species adapt to extreme deep-sea environments
A new paper published in BMC Biology contributes to unravel adaptations of organisms to extreme chemosynthetic environments, evolution of the incredibly diverse Annelida, and the molecular basis for host-microbe symbiosis.
Scientists had long assumed that the seafloors of our world’s oceans had limited biodiversity and complex life. After all, how could any organism survive without access to the sun’s energy?
