Mahmood Shivji, PhD

Mahmood Shivji is a Professor at Nova Southeastern University and Director of the Guy Harvey Research Institute and Save Our Seas Shark Research Center. His lab uses integrative approaches (genetics, genomics and field work) to investigate the biology, biodiversity, population dynamics, conservation and movement ecology (see www.ghritracking.org) of a broad suite of marine species, with a focus on sharks, billfishes and coral reef organisms. For DEEPEND, Dr. Shivji is working with Dr. Ron Eytan on using genetic and genomic approaches to assess the biodiversity and population dynamics of deep sea fishes.
