International Zebrafish Conference (IZFC) 2025

Team Functional Genomics was excited to attend the 19th International Zebrafish Conference in Madison, Wisconsin đź§€ Five lab members presented their work:

  • Dr. Megan Dennis platform talk: “Zebrafish models of duplicated genes implicated in human brain evolution”

  • Grad student Nicholas Haghani platform talk: “Functional Characterization of Autism with Disproportionate Megalencephaly Candidate Genes in Larval Zebrafish”

  • Grad student Gabriana La poster: “Loss of M6A mRNA readers in zebrafish model impacts head size and brain phenotypes implicated in autism”

  • Undergrad Aidan Baraban poster: “Characterizing brain functions of human duplicated NOMO paralogs using zebrafish”

  • Undergrad Emily Xu poster: “Characterization of an Autism Associated Gene KMT2E in Zebrafish”
