 The KAUST Marine Microbiomes Lab, headed by Prof. Raquel Peixoto, aims to understand and leverage marine microbiomes to develop marine probiotics that could ultimately help corals survive coral bleaching caused by higher temperatures brought about by climate change. The VR application showcases a 3D model of the actual CPV that was created in collaboration with Sandin labs from the University of California in San Diego. This allows users to explore the site virtually while learning about the importance of corals to the environment and to humans, the threats of coral bleaching caused by high rising water temperatures, and finally, the coral probiotics research that aims to address the threats to corals.  The KAUST Marine Microbiomes Lab, headed by Prof. Raquel Peixoto, aims to understand and leverage marine microbiomes to develop marine probiotics that could ultimately help corals survive coral bleaching caused by higher temperatures brought about by climate change.
