Dr. Elpidio (Ed) Remigio
Background:
Ph.D., James Cook University, Queensland, Australia
M.S., University of the Philippines, Diliman, Philippines
B.S., Far Eastern University, Manila, Philippines
Research Interests:
I am a postdoctoral research fellow in the lab of Dr. Thomas F. Duda. Our current research project examines the evolution and diversity of venom components in the species-rich marine snail genus Conus using molecular surveys of cDNA libraries. Another objective of this study is to determine the evolutionary origins of feeding modes in Conus species through microscopy and DNA-based techniques to identify prey from feces. My research interests include the applications of molecular genetic data for phylogeny inference, systematics, and conservation biology of gastropods, as well as other invertebrates.
