Zebrafish Show Promise as Model Organisms for Biomedical Research

Zebrafish (Danio rerio) are small, rapidly reproducing tropical aquarium fish with genetic similarities to humans. They are increasingly used as model organisms in biomedical research. “Zebrafish serve as model organisms to study diseases, particularly tuberculosis and cancer, and to explore drug dose conversion from zebrafish to humans, a key approach in translational research,” said Prof.
