Dr. Brett Macey
Dr. Macey joined the lab as a postdoctoral fellow in
March 2005 after receiving his Ph.D. from the University of Capetown,
South Africa. Although he is involved in many lab projects, Dr. Macey
has focused extensively on the ability of the oyster Crassostrea virginica
to eliminate bacteria from its tissues. Combining standard
culture techniques with modern qPCR techniques, he has characterized the
impacts of hypoxia, seasonal variation and metals contamination on the
oyster immune system. |
Heidi Williams
Heidi
is a joined the laboratory in Spring 2005 and expects to graduate in
Spring 2008 with a Masters Degree in Marine Biology from the
College of Charleston. Her thesis research explores the role of
individual oyster tissues in the inactivation and degradation of
bacterial pathogens. |

is a first year Masters Degree candidate in the Graduate Program in
Marine Biology , CofC. She joined the laboratory in January 2005,
and has yet to define a topic for her thesis. She is getting her feet
wet in the lab by setting up a new instrument, the Oxygraph to monitor
oxygen uptake in oyster hemocytes. |
