Pernet Lab - People

DR. BRUNO PERNET, bpernet@csulb.edu
I'm a native northern Californian. My undergraduate career started with two years at Cal State Stanislaus, where I took courses that involved so many fieldtrips to Monterey Bay that I figured I should just move there. So I finished my undergraduate degree at UC Santa Cruz. I then headed north to the University of Washington and their fabulous marine station, the Friday Harbor Laboratories, for my PhD. I spent the next six years on a marine station pilgrimage, doing research and teaching at labs in Florida, Oregon, South Carolina, Panama, and Washington. I'm now delighted to be based near my favorite ocean at CSU Long Beach, where I started as assistant professor in 2004. In addition to teaching and research, I help to run CSULB's confocal microscope facility. I also spend some time acting as an editor for the journal Invertebrate Biology, an international journal of the American Microscopical Society and the Division of Invertebrate Zoology, Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology. For more details, please see my CV.
