Eric is a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Florida Space Life Science Lab
Education: Ph.D., Zoology, 2019, University of Hawaii at Manoa. “The anatomical, biochemical and molecular effects of persistence in the squid-vibrio symbiosis.”; M.S., Bacteriology, 2012, University of Wisconsin-Madison; B.S., Zoology, 2010, University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Research interest: My research interests focus on exploring how mutualistic interactions shape animal development over the host lifespan using the squid-vibrio model system. In the Foster lab, I’ll also be studying how symbiotic interactions are affected by microgravity conditions.
