Due to their aquatic environment, #zebrafish are perfect for small molecule drug screens. Many drugs have been repurposed for novel treatments such as COX inhibitors in leukemia & glucocorticoids in long QT syndrome.

What a fun group to work with!
At the Kague lab, we're a team of six, each from different parts of the world.
And guess what?
Together, we speak a whopping nine languages!
Isn't that fantastic?
