SPOTLIGHT SPOTLIGHT Alleyah Britton

Alleyah Britton (at right) is an undergraduate in the Department of Natural Sciences earning her B.S. in Environmental Science and serves as president of the Environmental Science Association - UMES Chapter.

“This summer (2025), I had the privilege of completing a 10-week internship at IMET - Institute of Marine and Environmental Technology. I was honored to work in the UMCES Li Lab, focusing on microalgal biotechnology, under the guidance of Dr. Yi-Ying Lee. My project involved conducting Adaptive Laboratory Evolution (ALE) experiments to enhance high CO₂ tolerance in the marine alga Nannochloropsis oceanica.

This experience gave me valuable hands-on experience in experimental design and microalgal biotechnology. More importantly, it deepened my passion for environmental research and reinforced my commitment to addressing climate-related challenges through science.
