Disease Biology
How would you describe your lab in one word?
We aim to uncover the pathogenic mechanisms of rare genetic disorders through optimized in vivo models using zebrafish and mice, ultimately contributing to therapeutic development. In particular, we are increasingly captivated by the power of in vivo imaging enabled by the optical transparency of zebrafish, which allows us to visualize disease-related molecules in action within the living organism.
