April Hill: Bates College (Lewiston, Maine)
In the Hill lab, we are particularly interested in how changes to genomes and gene regulatory networks have led to the diversity of animal forms and functions. We use sponges as our model system because their ancient body plan holds important clues about the evolution of all animals, including humans. |

Nathan Kenny: The Natural History Museum (London, UK)
Nathan Kenny has a broad history of work in invertebrate comparative genomics, most recently looking at the molecular mechanisms of adaptation in freshwater and polar sponges. |

Gitai Yahel: Ruppin Academic Center, (Israel)
In the Yahel lab we are interested in the diverse processes that link the seafloor to the overlying ocean. These processes range from feeding mechanisms of individual suspension feeders such as sponges and bivalves through the behavior pattern of ground fish and migratory zooplankton to the interplay between hydrodynamics and the benthos (organisms that inhabits the bottom of the sea). |
