Research Opportunities

Undergraduate, graduate, and post-doctoral student who would like to get involved in zebrafish research in my laboratory can contact me. The following projects are currently available:

  • MOLECULAR BIOLOGY
    • Cloning of zebrafish serotonin receptors
    • Mapping of serotonin receptor expression in the zebrafish brain and spinal cord
    • Cloning and analysis of promoter regions of zebrafish serotonin receptors in cultured cells
  • BEHAVIOR
    • Isolation and characterization of zebrafish mutants with abnormal fighting behavior
    • Effects of neurotoxins on development and swimming activity in larval zebrafish
  • PHYSIOLOGY
    • Electrophysiological recording of neuromodulatory actions of serotonin on pectoral fin activity in zebrafish embryos and larvae
  • DEVELOPMENT
    • Development of dorsal, caudal, and anal fins in zebrafish
    • Changes of neural function during metamorphosis of zebrafish
  • TECHNIQUES
    • Zebrafish care
