Behaviour and morphology of the zebrafish, danio rerio.
This thesis addresses these questions by investigating the behaviour and morphology of zebrafish deriving from several wild populations in Nepal and Bangladesh. Mate choice trials in the laboratory revealed several features of the zebrafish that make it less amenable to such studies than several alternative teleost species. These include a lack.
This model could also be used to screen for therapeutic compounds. The characterisation of this zebrafish model involved observing histological, behavioural and biochemical changes in the knockout zebrafish and determining if the model was comparable to the pathological features reported in patients with WS. We have shown that this zebrafish.
The CCRI is equipped with a large zebrafish facility, an automated zebrafish drug screening platform (Zebrafish platform Austria for preclinical drug screening - ZANDR) and state-of-the-art confocal and light-sheet microscopes. The position is available immediately and should ideally be filled by May 2019.
Students may propose their own PhD topics or apply for advertised projects. Austria PhD Programme. An Austrian PhD usually takes 3-4 years. Most students complete their projects within broader PhD programmes incorporating a curriculum of courses and training worth a certain number of ECTS credits as well as research towards an original thesis.
The Notch signalling pathway is pivotal in ensuring that the processes of arterial specification, angiogenic sprouting and haematopoietic stem cell (HSC) specification are correctly carried out in the dorsal aorta (DA), a primary arterial blood vessel in developing vertebrate embryos. Using the zebrafish as a model organism, and additional experimental observations from mouse and cell line.
Microalgae have become recognized as excellent sources for many valuable nutrients. Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is a green microalga which has attracted attention as a model organism for recombinant protein and vaccine production, but its nutritional value and key functional components have not been previously assessed. Initial comparisons with species already used in this manner (Chlorella and.
About zebrafish research at ucl. The zebrafish is a small tropical fish that has become one of the favoured animal model systems for research in many areas including embryonic development, genetic analyses of disease, neural circuit function and behaviour.
PhD Thesis Opportunity The “Innovative Cancer Models” group at the Children’s Cancer Research Institute (CCRI) in Vienna is looking for a highly motivated student interested in carrying out a PhD Thesis project on “Establishing a Ewing Sarcoma model in zebrafish”. Ewing Sarcoma is a malignant bone tumor of children and young adults with high metastatic potential.
G. Garinis Laboratory - Genome (In)stability and Mammalian Physiology. A two-week intensive course on the care and use of laboratory animals (mice, rats and zebrafish) will be organized at the University.
DNA methylation is a critical component of gene control, and is maintained by a family of of enzymes called the DNA methyltransferases. Methylation of CpG sequences promotes the formation of stably condensed, repressed chromatin. This process is important during development where DNA methylation is thought to have a role in lineage determination, X-chromosome inactivation, imprinting, and.
The use of numerical information is widespread throughout the animal kingdom, providing adaptive benefits in several ecological contexts, including foraging, anti-predatory strategies and mating. Given the importance to possess numerical abilities, it is plausible that similar selective pressures in favor of processing numerical information would have acted in different species, even in those.
There is a requirement for the characterisation of the metabolism of xenobiotics in zebrafish larvae, due to the application of this organism to toxicity testing and ecotoxicology. Genes similar to mammalian cytochrome P450 (CYP) 1A1, CYP2B6, CYP3A5 and UDP-lucuronosyl-transferase (UGT) 1A1 were demonstrated to be expressed during normal embryonic development, with increased expression post.
