Dr. Zoe Pratte

Dr. Zoe Pratte received her BS in Marine Biology from Eckerd College, and her PhD dissertation at FIU focused on the microbial ecology of Caribbean corals. Since receiving her PhD, she has also studied the microbes associated with hundreds of species of tropical fishes, corals, and elasmobranchs. She specializes in the ecology of the microbes that live in and on these marine animals and how they affect animal health.

At the Central Caribbean Marine Institute, she will be investigating the relationship between the common coral symbiont Endozoicomonas and coral health, species, and depth.
