      6th ANNUAL ZEBRAFISH WORKSHOP

                            San Diego Town & Country Convention Center   March 2 – 3, 2010

 

 

The US Zebrafish Community has grown from isolated labs with wildly varying husbandry protocols and little institutional regulation to hundreds of Zebrafish Labs across the country, supported by multiple organizations including the Zebrafish International Resource Center (ZIRC), Zebrafish Information Network (ZFIN) and the Zebrafish Husbandry Association (ZHA).  The move towards standardized practices continues as technicians, managers and veterinarians share information in forums such as this. Sometimes, however, it is easy to forget that

we are part of an even larger whole.

 

Our efforts support a research community that works to solve some of society’s most pressing problems, including cancer, genetic disorders, mental illness, heart disease, and environmental contamination.  This research community spans national boundaries, and as the husbandry community grows in organization and maturity, we too will establish a dialogue with those practicing zebrafish husbandry around the world.  We acknowledge that common interest and seek to promote an international dialogue in this program.
