Through which lens do you choose to see the world? Retinas, zebrafish, Genetics, cholesterol, I love it all.
The Rawls Lab is hiring! We are seeking a motivated research technician to support cutting-edge studies in gastrointestinal physiology using zebrafish & mice. To learn more about this hands-on & in-person position at Duke University in Durham NC, click here: careers.duke.edu/job/Durham-R...
JOB ALERT 🚨 The Mumm Lab @jhu.edu (mummlab.wordpress.com) is hiring a Postdoctoral Researcher to lead a new fishy project focused on identifying cues driving retinal regeneration, in collaboration with @jamesthierer.bsky.social. More details in the reply below ⬇️ #ZebrafishJobs 🧪
A new discovery from MDI Bio Lab reveals previously unknown cells in the #zebrafish eye that can transform into replacement retinal cells after injury. The finding offers a fresh perspective on regeneration and new possibilities for understanding #visionloss. 🧪 🐟🎸
