PhD defense of David Kleinhans

David defended his PhD thesis "Genetic and Mechanic Signaling in Organ Development". Congratulations! We are especially thankful to David for the new embryo mounting technique that he developed during his PhD. This largely increases the amount of samples that we can image in one session. Check out his publication here.

 Add-on Fellowship for Interdisciplinary Life Science granted to Alicia

"The "Add-on Fellowships for Interdisciplinary Science" supports young scientists to specifically deal with another discipline related to their own research, its topics and methods". With this grant, Alicia will decipher the relative contribution of biochemical versus mechanical properties of cells and tissue during the zebrafish lateral line.

New book chapter in "Methods in molecular biology"

Check out our new book chapter! We describe new methods to visualize the micropylar cell, a unique follicle cell that is required for fertilization in zebrafish. Our method combines immunostaining on whole follicles or cryosections with RNA in situ hybridization.
