We study the heart and brain using zebrafish, focusing on the formation of blood and lymphatic vessels and their impact on tissue development and repair.

Vascular mural cells protect the adult brain from haemorrhage but do not control the blood-brain barrier in developing zebrafish
The blood-brain barrier (BBB) protects the brain from circulating metabolites and plays central roles in neurological diseases. Endothelial cells (ECs) of the BBB are enwrapped by mural cells includin...

Just swam over to Bluesky and decided to dip my fin in the water. I am a Postdoc in the Weinstein lab and currently on the faculty job market. I developed an injury system to study cutaneous wound healing in adult zebrafish. Check out my movie showing neutrophil recruitment after injury.

Watching coronary artery regeneration in zebrafish after resection of the heart apex. Zebrafish regenerative potential never ceases to amaze and inspire hope! Happy

Our debut here 🥰

Non-invasive intravital imaging of wound in skin epithelium of a juvenille zebrafish fed with a High-Cholesterol diet (HCD) versus a Normal Diet (ND)

Zebrafish is an outstanding model to study how diet and metabolic disease impact neutrophils
