The Segarra Lab investigates how environmental stressors affect aquatic organisms, from molecular and cellular mechanisms to development, physiology, behavior, and survival. Our research focuses on anthropogenic contaminants, including chemical and particulate pollutants, as well as pathogens and their impacts on aquatic organisms. We take an integrative approach, considering how environmental conditions and interactions among stressors influence biological responses. Our goal is to develop a holistic understanding of environmental stressor impacts and provide scientific knowledge to support ecological risk assessment, aquatic animal health, and conservation.
