She then did a post-doctoral fellowship on coral biomineralization at Rutgers University, USA, in the laboratory of Prof. Paul Falkowski. In 2014 she started her own laboratory at the university of Haifa, Israel, where she continues studying the basic mechanism responsible for calcium carbonate (CaCO3) precipitation in calcifying organisms, specifically corals. She targets her study on how corals respond physiologically and morphologically to changes in their environment from the molecular to the organism level.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-tab-title elementor-tab-mobile-title\" aria-selected=\"false\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1732\" aria-expanded=\"false\">Research Interests<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1732\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1732\" tabindex=\"0\" hidden=\"hidden\"><p>The main focus of the lab involves understanding how stony corals catalyze the precipitation of their biomineral. I seek to address the questions: Where and when is the biomineral formed? And what is the biophysical basis for the precipitation reaction? In addition, I target my study on how calcifying marine organisms respond physiologically and morphologically to changes in their environment and to better understand the role of algal symbionts (genus Symbiodinium) in coral (host) calcification.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><footer id=\"footer\" class=\"site-footer parallax-footer\" role=\"contentinfo\"><div id=\"footer-inner\" class=\"clr\"><div id=\"footer-widgets\" class=\"oceanwp-row clr\"><div class=\"footer-widgets-inner container\"><div class=\"elementor elementor-8411\" data-elementor-type=\"wp-post\" data-elementor-id=\"8411\" data-elementor-settings=\"[]\"><div class=\"elementor-inner\"><div class=\"elementor-section-wrap\"><section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-2f9cba2 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"2f9cba2\" data-element_type=\"section\"><div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\"><div class=\"elementor-row\"><div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-58a37ed\" data-id=\"58a37ed\" data-element_type=\"column\"><div class=\"elementor-column-wrap\">\u00a0<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/footer><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prof. Tali Mass Department:\u00a0Marine BiologyResearch Areas:\u00a0Coral ecology, physiology and biomineralizationLaboratory:\u00a0Coral Biomineralization and PhysiologyPhone:\u00a0+972-4-8288977Office:\u00a0269, Multipurpose BuildingEmail:\u00a0tmass@univ.haifa.ac.il About Research Interests About Professor Tali Mass received her PhD from the Hebrew University, Israel, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"elementor_header_footer","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_eb_attr":"","footnotes":"","_wp_rev_ctl_limit":""},"categories":[50,62],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12327","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-department-of-marine-biology","category-marine-biology-staff-en","entry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/marsci.haifa.ac.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12327","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/marsci.haifa.ac.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/marsci.haifa.ac.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marsci.haifa.ac.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marsci.haifa.ac.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12327"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/marsci.haifa.ac.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12327\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/marsci.haifa.ac.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12327"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marsci.haifa.ac.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12327"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marsci.haifa.ac.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12327"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
