Report on the 2018 Cuernavaca LAZEN meeting published!
This time, four students participating at the V LAZEN Course in Cuernavaca, México, had the initiative to write the official report to be published, in the journal Zebrafish. Read it here: https://www.liebertpub.com/doi/10.1089/zeb.2018.1666 Zebrafish Got Spicy: V Course and Symposium of the Latin American Zebrafish Network Aldana P. David, Brenda Delfín, Magela Rodao, and Roberto Rodríguez-Ortiz Published Online: 4 Dec 2018 https://doi.org/10.1089/zeb.2018.1666 Abstract The V Latin American Zebrafish Network Course and Symposium was held from May 4 to 12, 2018 at the Institute of Biotechnology of the National Autonomous University of Mexico. A group of 19 students from eight different countries were selected and trained during a week in a variety of topics and techniques using zebrafish as a model, followed by a 2-day symposium. In this article, we want to point out not only the outstanding activities carried out during the course but also highlight the great experience, the knowledge, and the fantastic relationships we gained from those days. |

ZF Eye Meeting Freiburg - Abstract deadline postponed to 15th July 2018 please register NOW
Dear colleagues We warmly invite you to register for our interdisciplinary meeting, There are still open places. Meet the clinicians: Zebrafish Models for Human Eye Diseases, Freiburg 14th-15th Sept 2018 All details can be found here: http://www.eufishbiomed.kit.edu/300.php <http://www.eufishbiomed.kit.edu/300.php> Abstract deadline: 15th July 2018 (deadline postponed!) Please register until: 31st July 2018 Invited speakers: Hélène Dollfus, Wolfgang Driever, Peter Charbel-Issa, Sascha Fauser, Breandán Kennedy, Brian Link, Stephan Neuhauss, Ernst Tamm, Monte Westerfield In ophthalmology, clinician scientists may be unaware of the many possibilities provided by zebrafish models. On the other hand zebrafish researchers may be unexposed to pressing clinical research questions. The aim of the meeting is to bring researchers using the zebrafish model closer to the medical community. At the same time, the meeting shall introduce the virtues of the zebrafish model to clinical researchers. Keynote lectures will cover various aspects of zebrafish eye research. This will be complemented by presentations addressing research on human eye diseases with high clinical relevance. In addition, short talks and poster presentations will be selected from submitted abstracts of meeting participants. Best regards Uwe Strähle EuFishBioMed e.V.
