The zebrafish (Danio rerio) has emerged as a powerful model system for studying vertebrate development and disease, particularly cancer. This intensive hands-on short course, under the scientific coordination of Rita Fior, will focus on the technical aspects of generating zebrafish xenografts using human cancer cell lines.
This course is promoted by the Champalimaud Foundation's Fior Lab.
