The Marine Biomedical Research Program is dedicated to utilizing marine organisms as laboratory animal models and sources of material in basic research. The ultimate goal of this program is to use results from these studies to contribute to a better understanding of health problems in higher animals, including humans, and/or to benefit the wild populations of the particular organism studied. A major research effort in the program is directed at understanding why sharks and their skate and ray relatives have a low incidence of disease.
