About
Professor Maria Christina Vasquez received her B.S. in Animal Science from UC Davis in 2006, her M.S. in Biology from California State University, Northridge in 2009 and her Ph.D. in Animal Molecular and Cellular Biology at the University of Florida in 2013. She was awarded an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology for Broadening Participation in 2014, which she completed at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo working with Dr. Lars Tomanek in the Environmental Proteomics Laboratory. Her research interests focus on investigating the effects of multiple environmental stressors on marine invertebrate physiology by integrating whole organism physiology with molecular, field, and ecological approaches to predict effects of climate change on marine communities.
