Scott Santos, Ph.D., Assistant Professor

Education
2002- Ph.D., Biological Sciences, State University of New York at Buffalo
1996- B.Sc., Zoology (With Distinction), University of Hawaii at Manoa

Research & Teaching Interests
Population genetics, resource conservation, genomic evolution and symbiosis biology in aquatic (both freshwater and marine) microbes and multi-cellular organisms. A variety of molecular tools and computational approaches are utilized to address these questions.
