The zebrafish, Danio rerio, has emerged as a powerful model system for the study of vertebrate development but also disease, in particular cancer. This intensive hands-on short course will focus on the technicalities of generating zebrafish xenografts using human cancer cell lines.
This course is promoted by Champalimaud Foundation's Fior Lab, integrated in the congento - Consortium for Genetically Tractable Organisms - initiatives.
