Luciana Moreira visited the Wilson lab this October, along with her colleague Francisca Coutinho. At the Alves lab in the Instituto Nacional de Saúde Dr. Ricardo Jorge (INSA), Porto, they study the lysosomal storage disease mucopolysaccharidosis. The lab has recently decided to begin using zebrafish (with no prior experience!) to model these diseases and approached the Wilson lab for help. Luciana and Francisca were given training by Hande and Stephen in generating CRISPR F0s (along with lots of general fish advice), with help from Francois, Declan, Elena and many other members of the fish floor. We had a great time hosting Luciana and Francisca and welcome them to the zebrafish community!
