Bita Kalvani is an Iranian PhD student working under my co-supervision. She is spending some time (6 months) with us in CCMAR. Previously she worked on Holothuria scabra and Holothuria leucospilota, and now she is inducing maturation on H. arguinensis oocytes using different extracts of radial nervus from males and females, obtaining very interesting results! They will be published soon! Good luck!
