## **Shauna Murray**

Professor Shauna Murray is a marine biologist whose research focuses on ecology and evolution, using molecular genetic techniques. Marine biotoxins produced by dinoflagellates, single-celled marine protists, are amongst the most toxic substances recorded to date; however, we know little about the genetics, evolution, and ecology of these organisms. Professor Murray is an expert on the systematics, genetics, evolution, and toxins of marine dinoflagellates, with a particular focus on benthic and harmful algal species. She works extensively with the aquaculture and fisheries sectors and is based at the University of Technology Sydney in Australia.
