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.
The new OneHealth Institute has just published a call for two assistant professorship tenure track in beautiful Zurich

I am involved in setting up a new institute on OneHealth, our first three faculty spanning institute. See the first (of many more to come) announcement https://t.co/JWMpEdvVXL
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. https://t.co/VqlfkEqEYy
Our latest paper with Daniel Ahmed's team @DanielAhmedARSL got featured on ETHZ news https://t.co/bgLrHfBxk2 It is probably an easier read than the paper itself https://t.co/8IRIWEZcyM
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 proud to have been a (very small) part of a really cool project devising a robot-assisted acoustofluidic end effector (RAEE) system just published in @NatureComms with the ever ingenious @DanielAhmedARSL. https://t.co/8IRIWEZcyM

The cover of the new BioPhotonics issue is graced one of our retina samples most beautifully imaged by Stefanie Kiderlen @ProspectiveInst using their multiphoton imaging set-up. https://t.co/IV0wYsPjYG

We are happy to see our latest collaborative paper with the @RazanskyLab just being published in @Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience being published https://t.co/QnMPCnrsBF.
It describes a really cool optoaccoustic neurobehavioral tracking method. #zebrafish#behavior
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
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. ....
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
The next comes from Sara Caviglia that we are happy to host in our team from Elke Ober's (another long time friend) lab. They have developed a cool imaging tool box FRaeppli. Enjoy the amazing images suitable to induce a legal LSD like feeling. https://t.co/ofj6y1GYLG
So nice to come back from vacation and having three papers with wonderful collaborators accepted. The first one in Epilepsia with our favorite Scandinavian friends @yaksi_emre@NathalieJuYa adressing neural network changes in various epilepsy model https://t.co/spHLfP8T45
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.
Our first SwissZebra meeting after the pandemic in Basel. A fun filled day of great talks and posters. I am so proud of our master student Jacqueline Kientsch @j_kientsch for wining the best poster prize. #zebrafish
