Biography and Research Interest
The main focus of my group is the modelling of different rare, monogenic human diseases using zebrafish. We are especially interested in diseases linked to pseudouridylation defects and diseases resulting from the dysfunction of RecQ helicase orthologs.
Lately we also became interested in working with paradise fish as a model for evodevo and behavioral genetics.
