Welcome to the Traylor-Knowles Cnidarian Immunity Laboratory

We are a collective of integrative biologists conducting world-class discovery research on the innate immune system in corals, sea anemones, and (the non-cnidarian) ctenophores. We investigate disease processes, environmental stress, symbiosis, wound healing, regeneration, and cellular mechanisms of immunity with the aim of enhancing our understanding of the fundamental processes of biological life in our oceans.
