...Secretary

Fred Gurgel
My research focus is on the systematics of these organisms. My ultimate phycological interest is to bridge the fields of taxonomy, molecular biology, ecology, organismal biology and biogeography to create a more holistic understanding of macroalgal evolution, distribution and biodiversity.
