Research on the dynamics of a heartbeat

The research team in the lab of Jan Huisken at the MPI-CBG develops novel quantitative microscopy tools and experimental strategies to understand the function and morphogenesis of the heart of zebrafish. New insights might lead to new therapies for patients with heart diseases in the future. A Sachsenspiegel report produced by the German public TV station MDR shows the researchers in the lab and the fish facility that breeds approx. 30,000 fish - see and enjoy the report!
