Zebrafish have long contributed to biological and medical research, especially as a model for developmental and toxicological studies. Particularly useful attributes of zebrafish include ...

Biomedical engineers at Duke University have developed a computational imaging system that borrows techniques from astronomy ...

Over 80 percent of genes that are known to trigger disease in humans are also present in this fish. The zebrafish is therefore a suitable model organism for studying diseases suffered by humans.

We use different techniques in our research projects. Yet, the zebrafish model joins us together. Our research interest covers a wide variety of topics, including cancer, development, disease modeling ...

Metabolic syndrome—a constellation of conditions including insulin resistance, obesity, hypertension, and dyslipidemia—is a ...

N'-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine (6PPD) and its oxidation product 6PPD-quinone (6PPDQ)-are raising new red flags for aquatic ecosystems.

The Zebrafish Genetic and Phenotyping Core provides expertise and equipment to support your experiments with zebrafish as an in vivo model. The Core can generate zebrafish with mutations in specific ...

In order to address these questions, his lab uses zebrafish as a model system. Why zebrafish? The zebrafish has recently become a favorite vertebrate model system to many researchers studying ...

On This popular fish, frequently sold commercially under the name Zebra Danio, has become an important vertebrate model organism in scientific research. The zebrafish owes much of this success to its ...

The Whitfield lab research programme seeks to understand the development and function of vertebrate sensory systems, using the zebrafish as a model system. Our interests lie in tackling ...
