Dr. Lauren Nadler
Assistant professor and NMBP Lab PI
I am originally from New Jersey but have spent much of my career outside of the US, completing graduate school in Scotland and Australia, and a postdoc in Norway, as well as as much fieldwork as possible in far-flung places like the Red Sea and Lizard Island. I started my lab at NSU in the summer of 2020 and am interested in the physiological mechanisms underlying behavioral phenotypes, and how these shift depending on environmental perturbations and parasite infection, particularly in gregarious fishes.

Krystal Renta
Undergraduate researcher
I am originally from New Jersey and recently moved down to South Florida. For as long as I can remember, I have always loved the ocean. The peculiar inhabitants and push and pull of the waves have always intrigued me. As long as I was by the ocean, I felt at peace. I believe the ocean is a living being that deserves to be respected. Throughout my undergraduate, I realized that I wanted to study if and how ecological factors affect organisms. It is my senior year, and I am excited to be working in the NMBP laboratory to gain valuable research skills and expand my knowledge on how CO2 and/or temperature could possibly affect schooling fish following a predator attack.
