Congrats to Vahid and Shayan, their preprint was accepted for publication in the journal Development. Development also interviewed Vahid about the paper, click here. We used Google NotebookLM to generate a 10 minute podcast describing the work – click here to listen. Summary below: This research, conducted using zebrafish embryos,
We’re excited to welcome our new lab manager, Ahmed Mohamed, to the lab.
Our amazing current lab manager is moving out of state. We’re looking for somebody to manage the lab (order supplies, manage shared reagents) and conduct experiments in collaboration with the PI or other lab members. Ideal candidate has several years experience working in a wet lab or a masters degree
Testosterone acts through membrane protein GPRC6A to cause cardiac edema in zebrafish embryos Androgen actions are classically thought to be mediated by nuclear androgen receptors, but they can also exert non-genomic effects via binding to integral membrane proteins. Here, Vahid found 3 androgens that cause developmental phenotypes in zebrafish embryos.
Today is a happy day as Hailey successfully defended her thesis and is now Dr Hailey Edwards, PhD. Bittersweet because she will leave the lab at the end of the month to begin a postdoc in San Diego. We will miss her chill enthusiasm and insightful comments at lab meetings.
Hailey’s preprint was submitted to Development in January 2022. The reviewers had good feedback for us, we did some more experiments, and the result is an updated and improved preprint: Hemato-vascular specification requires arnt1 and arnt2 genes in zebrafish embryos. More figures! More movies! More fluorescence imaging! More authors!
Happy New Year! 2022 has to be an improvement over 2021, if only because Hailey’s masterpiece, Hemato-vascular specification requires arnt1 and arnt2 genes in zebrafish embryos, is now available as a bioRxiv preprint. So proud of Hailey for putting this out during a pandemic.
Zebrafish are the tropical minnows advancing genetics and molecular biology. Read the story here.
The 2019 Texas Zebrafish Conference is coming to Houston, November 1-2. Details here We’ll bring together zebrafish researchers from across Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Mexico to discuss research in development, physiology, and genetics, to share new technologies, and network with colleagues in a friendly and supportive environment. The
Check out Paige’s preprint, where she systematically dissects the function of AHR genes (ahr1a, ahr1b, ahr2) in zebrafish craniofacial & fin development and sensitivity to dioxin. And there’s some bonus estrogen receptor experiments in there too! Read the preprint here.
