Our lab is interested in the genetic analysis of vertebrate visual system development and function, with a focus on the retina. We use zebrafish as model.

I happily announce the publication of our latest paper. This time it is a purely bioinformatics theoretical paper surveying vertebrate visual guanylyl cyclases and GCAPs and relating their abundance to visual ecology and clade evolution. frontiersin.org/articles/10.…

We are really happy that Veronica Akle @VeroAkle from the University of the Andes @Uniandes joins our lab for her sabbatical. She already became a senior fellow of the Collegium Helveticum @CHelveticum. We have a fun collaboration in front of us.

I am usually doubtful about scientific prizes, not the less in that in poorly reflects the collaborative nature of modern science. This skepticism only changes for the brief moment when one personally gets a prize. ....

Therefore, I am proud to say that I received the Alfred-Vogt-Prize, the highest prize for Ophthalmology in Switzerland. I am really grateful for the honor and thankful for all my fantastic current and past team members. #zebrafish #ophthalmology

Check out the latest paper led by Sverre, @iam_AhmedJ , @NathalieJuYa and @yaksi_emre. I'm so happy how this nice collaboration turned out!
Our paper by Sverre Myren-Svelstad & @iam_AhmedJ, co-supervised by @NathalieJuYa is now out in @EpilepsiaJourn . We used photic-stimulation to identify convergent and divergent features of neural activity and behavior in multiple zebrafish seizure models. doi.org/10.1111/epi.17380

the third one just got accepted in Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience @FrontNeurosci with the wizards from Daniel Razansky's lab @RazanskyLab "Volumetric optoacoustic neurobehavioral tracking of epileptic seizures in freely-swimming zebrafish larvae " says it all - stay tuned

My smiling postdoc Jingjing @Jingjing_Zang received the best presentation prize at our departmental retreat (with Alena Kapnulina (right) Thom De Hoog (not on the picture) . I am so proud that you developed into such an effective Science communicator.
