Zebrafish is an unique model in neuroscience; key neurological pathways are well conserved and we can used genetics and pharmacological tools to investigate brain functions. This model is also suitable for large-scale approaches and drug discovery efforts
We are using a unique opioid self-administration assay to study the molecular pathways involved in drug seeking behaviour.
Using large scale approaches we are interested in studying the neurological impact of unique neurosteroids.
We are generating a new zebrafish model to study the behavioural and molecular impact of embryonic opioid exposure
We are using a range of techniques from behavioural platforms, imaging, genetic tools (transgenic lines, CRISPR-Cas9) and pharmacological tools
Neuronal activity in live zebrafish larvae
Small molecule screening and drug discovery
Novel object assay to monitor learning and memory
