PhD student Victor Krajka spends research stay with Prof. Koester in Braunschweig to study the impact of mutations in beta tubulin 4A (TUBB4A) on oligodendrocyte development and their function in Zebrafish.

Our PhD student Victor Krajka spends two research weeks at Prof. Reinhard Köster’s lab (https://www.tu-braunschweig.de/zoology/forschung/cellularmolecularneurobiology/index.html) to investigate the impact of mutations in beta tubulin 4A (TUBB4A) on oligodendrocyte development and their function in Zebrafish.

The example photos and videos below, show a brain of a 6-day old zebrafish larva.
In green are cells positive for Olig2, which is a marker for motoneurons and oligodendrocytes. Nuclei are stained with DAPI, blue.
