Late stage Doryteuthis pealeii embryos in their chorions

The Albertin lab studies how novelty arises over the course of evolution and development using cephalopods as models.

Based at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, MA, the Albertin lab explores how developmental programs evolve and the biology of cephalopods (octopuses, squid, and cuttlefish) using diverse approaches, including comparative genomics, gene expression studies, and live imaging.
