The Radboud Institute for Biological and Environmental Sciences houses aquaria where research is done with zebrafish as an animal model. Research groups from Radboud University and Radboudumc collaborate in multidisciplinary research lines to improve the model's impact.
Zebrafish (Danio rerio) is a widely recognised vertebrate model organism in scientific research, and it is of both fundamental and translational importance. The research in our facility spans and integrates gene regulation, cell signalling, tissue functioning, and whole-organism physiology.
For whom?
We are open to, and continuously seeking, collaborations with internal as well as external parties in joint projects, strategic alliances and exchanges of expertise. We offer advice, guidance, and support on the conduct of zebrafish research, including experimental design, the use of state-of-the-art technologies and handling and care of fish.
