About the Facility

Washington University in St. Louis is now home to one of the largest zebrafish facilities in the world. With its robotic feeding and cleaning systems, it is the world’s most modern, says Lilianna Solnica-Krezel, PhD, professor and head of the Department of Developmental Biology at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. >>More
