Does thermal history influence the tolerance of Pacific oysters (Crassostrea gigas) to marine heatwaves and temperature-associated diseases?
For my PhD research in Dr. Ted Grosholz's lab at UC Davis, I am studying how warming and the temperature-associated disease, Ostreid herpesvirus (OsHV-1) affect the farmed Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas. I'm also interested in seeing if priming oysters to warmer temperatures influences C. gigas' response to OsHV-1.
