The deadline to apply for the Woods Hole Marine Biological Laboratory "Zebrafish Development and Genetics” summer course (July 25 - August 8, 2024) is WEDNESDAY, MARCH 27th.
This intensive two-week course caters to advanced graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and independent investigators who are incorporating the zebrafish model into their research and/or teaching. Applications from underrepresented minorities are especially encouraged.
The hands-on curriculum focuses on molecular, genetic, and imaging methods for using zebrafish as a powerful model system for the study of vertebrate development, regeneration, and disease. A variety of time-proven and emerging technologies are covered. The overall goal is to promote excellence in zebrafish research by creating a collaborative environment that engages students through comprehensive laboratory exercises and interactive discussions guided by 20 international leaders in the field. Enrollment is limited to 22 students.
