About the research
How did algae acquire their photosynthetic machinery, and how do marine organisms adapt to demanding environments?
Read the full research overview
Bhattacharya studies these questions through genomics, bioinformatics, and evolutionary biology. His research examines endosymbiosis and the integration of plastids into host cells. Other projects investigate salt tolerance in Picochlorum algae and use single cell genomics to examine marine organisms that are difficult to culture. Coral research addresses genome evolution, mineralization, and symbiosis, connecting molecular changes to the biology of reef organisms and their responses to environmental stress.
