Abstract:
The laboratory for Molecular Biodiscovery is a zebrafish-based platform for small-molecule drug discovery for CNS disorders and the evaluation of drug-induced organ toxicities. The group has experience in high-throughput behavioral and seizure assays, whole mount in situ hybridisation, EEG whole brain recording, transgenic zebrafish lines, antisense knockdowns, fluorescence microscopy and cryotome sectioning.

The marine component includes the zebrafish-based discovery of antiseizure compounds from the North Sea and Red Sea.
