Spencer Nyholm is part of a team that received a $550,000 award from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation to develop new tools to study symbiotic relationships in the Hawaiian bobtail squid.

The award is part of the Symbiosis in Aquatic Systems Initiative and is investing $19 million over the next three years to support 42 teams of scientists to advance model systems in aquatic symbiosis. Marcy Balunas from UConn Pharmaceutical Sciences is also a Co-PI on the grant.
