Abstract
Chloë used the coral model Heliofungia to investigate important knowledge gaps in coral biology. She developed a technique to isolate the acrosphere, characterised the gut microbiome and compared the microbial and molecular tissue-specific responses in bleached and unbleached specimens. This research has implications for coral biology, our understanding of bleaching mechanisms and how corals recover after stress.
