Statement of Research Interest
Our Zebrafish Unit is entirely dedicated to the maintenance and use for
scientific purposes of zebrafish strains (and/or other small freshwater fish)
and provides to researchers a direct access to the zebrafish. Facility staff
manages all aquarium maintenance and water quality monitoring, feeding, and
breeding of animals to be raised in the facility. Thanks to our facility,
investigators and scientific groups, also from external italian and
international Institutes, have the possibility to analyze and study in vivo,
in a vertebrate model system, the function and the role of the homologues of
human genes involved in human diseases and developmental biology. Moreover, we
give to scientist and companies the possibility to use zebrafish embryos as
powerful platform for genetic and drug screening.
Services: The Zebrafish Unit offers a wide range of services and helps
researchers through the entire course of their projects. Training is available
for a wide variety of techniques, providing a lot of well-established
protocols, as well as assistance with assay development and experimental
design.
