Texas Zebrafish Conference 2019
August 23, 2019
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
Paige’s new preprint now available
October 17, 2018
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.
Cammie’s GPER paper published!
August 30, 2018
Congrats to Cammie & Shannon! Their paper ‘G protein-coupled estrogen receptor is not required for sex determination or ovary function in zebrafish‘ was accepted for publication in the journal Endocrinology.
Cammie’s paper preprint now available

G protein-coupled estrogen receptor is not required for sex determination or ovary function in zebrafish An important negative result: We find that G protein-coupled estrogen receptor (GPER) is not required for sex determination or ovary development in zebrafish. While nuclear estrogen receptors are clearly involved in sex determination and gonad
Meeting Jennifer Doudna
February 27, 2018
During a break from reviewing grants for an upcoming study section, the lab and I went to hear Dr. Jennifer Doudna give a seminar. We use CRISPR-Cas9 extensively to modify the zebrafish genome, so seeing one of the scientists who discovered CRISPR and adapted it for targeted DNA modification in

Nuclear androgen receptor regulates testes organization and oocyte maturation in zebrafish. Congrats, Cammie!
Shannon’s magnum opus published!
October 24, 2017
Finally, after more than two years, submission to six journals, three editorial rejections and six rounds of peer-review, I am proud to report that Shannon’s first author paper, her magnum opus, the diamond in her PhD crown, was published in PLOS Genetics! I would be proud no matter what, but
Paige’s paper published!
May 25, 2017
Paige’s paper on estradiol uptake in zebrafish embryos and larvae was accepted to Toxicological Sciences. Congrats, Paige! Finally we have an answer to the perennial reviewer question: How much estrogen in fish water actually gets taken up by the zebrafish? The answer: not much.
Shannon’s review article accepted!
April 26, 2017
Shannon’s review article, Crosstalk between nuclear and G protein-coupled estrogen receptors, was accepted for publication. Congrats, Shannon!
