Zebrafish research on campus highlighted

Sahron Amacher

The Ohio State Health and Discovery website recently published an article discussing zebrafish research on campus entitled "The scientific wonders of zebrafish for biomedical research". Among many researchers on campus, our own Sharon Amacher is highlighted for her collaborative research on muscle and skeletal development and patterning. Among other research, Dr. Amacher is using zebrafish to model muscular dystrophy and was recently funded in collaboration with Drs. Kevin Flanigan and Martin Haesemeyer in the College of Medicine to use zebrafish to test and develop novel treatments for the disorder. We are so excited to see this important work highlighted!
