We are a group of Purdue faculty using zebrafish in our research. Our research interest covers a wide variety of topics, including cancer, development, disease modeling, drug discovery, immunology, ...

Using zebrafish "avatars," an animal model developed by the Cancer Development and Innate Immune Evasion lab at the ...

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 study the chemical and physical mechanisms by which intact tissues detect wounds to initiate healing, inflammation, regeneration, and cancer. We address these mechanisms by quantitative imaging in ...

Because embryos are transparent and develop outside the mother’s body, scientists can manipulate genes to model ... So far zebrafish studies have yielded insights into cancer, diabetes, muscle ...

This deserves particular attention because in recent years, several studies have concluded that serious disorders such as inflammatory bowel disease or colon cancer ... zebrafish is a popular ...

We model wound healing in several genetically tractable model organisms from the fruit fly, Drosophila, through to zebrafish and mice, with the ultimate goal of uncovering ... Recently we have become ...
