Why do researchers use animal models, and what does a fish experiment have to do with human health?
The zebrafish area is equipped to rear up to 10,000 experimental zebrafish in addition to brood stock. The core facility serves a number of Center investigators by providing essential services. For example, investigators are provided study design assistance, research animals, tank space, complete fish husbandry services, standard and custom diets, and experimental data collection assistance. These services are also provided to researchers at OSU, other US institutions or with international research groups to support, small pilot projects as space and resources are available.
