Zebrafish in Development and Disease

There are only a few vertebrate systems that can be used to model human diseases for biomedical discovery. Zebrafish model provides key advantages over existing models; externally developing embryos provide high-throughput non-invasive imaging, chemical screening, forward and reverse genetics, and regeneration capacity made zebrafish a valuable system for novel discovery.

Developmental studies using zebrafish has influenced discoveries in many human health related conditions. This Research Topic covers all aspects of zebrafish studies providing developmental mechanisms to human health conditions. Our aim is to foster a platform to bring all levels of zebrafish research including but not limited to development, disease, regeneration, drug screening, bioinformatics and Omics studies.
