Kalueff Lab

In our lab, we use a zebrafish model to analyze stress, anxiety and pharmacological treatment. We are also studying the effects of different stressors on zebrafish physiology (stress hormones, such as cortisol) and gene expression. Zebrafish are also highly sensitive to various pharmacological treatments, such as anxiolytics, anxiogenics, and antidepressants. Although zebrafish neurophenotyping is relatively simple in its design and yields robust response, the inclusion of video tracking makes t
