Hands-on Learning and Training Opportunities
The Zebrafish Education and 研究 Facility provides opportunities for training and hands-on learning using the 斑马鱼 in both the classroom and in various research fields.
Because 斑马鱼 share more than a 70% genetic similarity with humans, the species serves as an important animal model for studying multiple biomedical topics and human diseases. In fact, 85% of genes associated with human diseases can also be found in the 斑马鱼. Offering advantages such as ease of genetic manipulation, 成本效益, and rapid embryonic development, 斑马鱼 provide a significant benefit to 学生 and faculty interested in researching biomedical issues, 包括开发, 再生, 传染性疾病, 癌症, 和毒理学.
The facility is located on the Biddeford Campus and currently contains two double-sided recirculating systems with the capacity to house up to 7,000年斑马鱼. It provides expertise and facilities for 斑马鱼 husbandry as well as classroom and experimental use for faculty, 学生, 以及外部用户.
