​Reef Genomics lab's recent Science Advances paper on the role of floridoside has been featured in media.

Watch the video to find out what Fabia Simona will be presenting at the Gordon Research Conference on Posttranslational Modification Networks​ in Hong Kong!​​​​​​

Professor Aranda gives an overview of the challenges coral reefs are facing due to rapidly changing climate. He explains the importance of coral reefs and the current loss of ecosystems.

Our lab is participating in a world intercalibration for Dissolved inorganic carbon and Total alkalinity organized from the University of California, San Diego by Prof A. Dickson. We obtained a very satisfying deviation from the standards send and we should be within the average of the world best labs of our specialty.

R/V Al Aziz has departed on the 1st of August

The results of this year's Ecological Genomics course investigating the effects of iron enrichment on Red Sea corals have now been published.​

You are all invited to our Ph.D. student Cecilia's Ph.D. proposal defense on the 8th of August from 10 am - 12 pm in room 5220, Bldg 2.

SAKMEO is hiring a postdoc in marine and coastal ecosystem services - apply now!​

The Saudi Aramco-KAUST center for Marine Environmental Observations (SAKMEO) is seeking a post-doctoral fellow. Applications encouraged from suitably qualified candidates.

​Congratulations to Parsifal Islas Morales recently awarded with the Cinna Lomnitz Medal for his work on science communication in Mexico!

Patterns of nitrogen fixation align with trophic groups of two coral families. Read Reef Genomics group's new publication in Frontiers in Microbiology!

The Saudi Aramco-KAUST center for Marine Environmental Observations completed installation of a surface current mapping system along the central Red Sea. These high-frequency radar systems to map surface ocean currents, a first for Saudi Arabia, will enable near real-time information of currents, which carry nutrients, pollutants, stranded boats, or anything that floats.

Saudi Arabia has a rich knowledge of traditional medicine using a diversity of local plants. Here we used cell-based phenotypic profiling and image-based high-content screening to study the mode of action and potential cellular targets in these plants to identify potential anti-cancer compounds.

Today Carol Buitrago successfully presented her Ph.D. proposal entitled "Assessing genetic differentiation and local adaptation of Pocilloporid corals in the Arabian Seas ".

Congratulations!

The Saudi Aramco-KAUST center for Marine Environmental Observations (SAKMEO) is seeking a research scientist in the area of coral reef fish ecology.
