Operational Team

The operational team is responsible for the implementation of the scientific plans at the Radboud zebrafish facility. This includes an advisory role in amongst others the development of genetically modified zebrafish (including human disease models) and experimental design. The team is also responsible for the daily maintenance operations of the facility, and ensures that the zebrafish lines in the facility, including genetically modified lines, are kept under optimal conditions in terms of welfare and biosafety.
