Our lab focuses on modeling human diseases of the immune system in zebrafish. Our goal is to have a better understanding of the molecular mechanism underlying diseases like leukemia in order to devise more targeted therapies.
Our lab focuses on modeling human diseases of the immune system in zebrafish. To do this we use a variety of tools, including genetic screens using transgenic lines of zebrafish. Our lab is located on the fourth floor of Huntsman Cancer Institute (HCI), and we are also part of HCI's Center for Children, the Department of Oncological Sciences, the Interdepartmental Graduate Program in Molecular Biology, and the Department of Pediatrics, Division of Hematology and Hematologic Malignancies/Oncology at the University of Utah. Our fish are housed in a state-of-the-art zebrafish facility run by a PhD scientist and several assistants.
