Interests
We use zebrafish to study the genetic regulation of fin to limb evolution. Transgenic zebarfish are a powerful tool for observing tissue specifc flourescent makers and tracking cell fate in wild-type or mutant backgrouds. I work with the Nakamura Lab on their zebrafish studies.
Clinical or Educational Responsibilities
My position is staff in CMR to oversee the Nelson Zebrafish Facility. My salary is 25% funded by Dr. Nakamura to support zebrafish husbandry and research efforts.
