Joyce Yuk-Ting Lau and Adaobi Mofunaya, "Oyster hemocytes: A model for assessing impact of emerging contaminants on marine invertebrate immunity". Emerging contaminants such as pharmaceuticals are entering coastal waters through wastewater, yet their effects on marine immune systems remain largely understudied. This talk presents research utilizing eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica) hemocytes as a model to test the impact of the beta-blocker atenolol on marine invertebrate immunity. We explore the use of oyster hemocytes as a screening tool for emerging contaminants.Drs.
