Marina Luccioni

​

I am a biologist and visual artist interested in human and environmental health, specifically how organisms come to contain and accumulate neurotoxins, and the ways their molecules interact with human neural function to produce altered mental states. My projects interface knowledge from local, indigenous and conventional academic sources. 

 

I have a B.S.H in Human Biology and Honors in the Arts from Stanford University and am currently a PhD candidate in the Crowder lab at Stanford University, co-advised by Uncle Mac Poepoe as part of the Nā Kai ‘Ewalu stewardship collective. I am an NSF Graduate Research Fellow, RAISE Fellow, Stanford-France Center for Interdisciplinary Studies Research Fellow and a Knight-Hennessey Scholar. 

​

Outside the lab I am co-chair of the San Mateo MPA Collaborative Network and lead naturalist tours with the Friends of Fitzgerald Marine Reserve.
