📅 Save the Date! The 4th Canadian Zebrafish Research Conference will take place on Friday, May 15, 2026, at CHU Sainte-Justine, Montreal (just before the Canadian Neuroscience Conference!) Multiple travel awards available with 2 Postdoctoral Rising Stars Awards! #izfs

Due to their aquatic environment, #zebrafish are perfect for small molecule drug screens. Many drugs have been repurposed for novel treatments such as COX inhibitors in leukemia & glucocorticoids in long QT syndrome.

My laboratory at Université Laval in Québec City, Canada, is looking for a postdoc to study how neuromodulatory systems impact cortical processing during foraging behavior. This fully-funded position offers a collaborative environment in a great city. More info👇 can-acn.org/postdoctoral...

Such a pleasure to discover the Canadian Dev. Bio. community and meet new reasearch groups. It was a privilege to have the opportunity to present our work. #CDBC2025

Next speaker in the (sadly) final session of the Canadian Developmental Biology Conference is Gabriel Bossé, Université Laval talking about “Investigating the neurodevelopmental impact of polydrug exposure using zebrafish” #CDBC2025 @socdevbio.bsky.social

Over the coming weeks, we will unveil the 14 platforms selected as part of our signature Platorm Support Grant program. First up - Canadian Optogenetics and Vectorology Foundry, led by Marie-Eve Paquet and Yves De Koninck in Quebec City tinyurl.com/35ejeaww

What a great day of zebrafish research! Thanks to everyone who shared their amazing work at the 3rd CZRC and congrats to our award winners!

Great opportunity for young scientists!

Join us in Toronto for the next Canadian Zebrafish Meeting! Registration and abstract submission will open soon.

The first paper from the lab! What started as a simple comparison between zebrafish lines turned into an analysis of sensorimotor development in zebrafish larvae: doi.org/10.1016/j.bb...
