Description
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
The visit to Alex Schier's lab will take us through the fish laboratory, where there are over 15'000 fish.
For the well-being of the fish, we have to respect the following rules:
- Visitors must not have visited other animal rooms on the same day.
- It is not allowed to touch any material or equipment.
- Visitors must step on a disinfectant shoe mat when accessing the facility.
- Wearing a mask may be required (we will provide a mask for each participant).
The research focuses on two areas: Vertebrate Development and Behavior.
The lab uses zebrafish as a model system because genetic, genomic and imaging approaches can be combined to study complex behaviours and developmental processes in a vertebrate.
The lab is also committed to training the next generation of leaders in biomedical research. More details can be found on this page: https://schierlab.biozentrum.unibas.ch/
