Jason Somarelli, PhD
School of Medicine
My research team focuses on understanding the molecular constraints of living systems in extreme environments, including 1) cancer as a living system under the extreme conditions of therapeutic challenge, 2) the molecular adaptations of oxygen deprivation during diving in whales, and 3) the evolution and bioengineering of plastic-degrading microbes. These efforts serve as the framework for a series of rigorous training and educational programs for students across learner levels and from all walks of life.
