Zon laboratory

Zon Laboratory is a research facility associated with Harvard Medical School, known for its innovative work in developmental biology, stem cell research, and the study of various diseases. The lab focuses on understanding how cells and tissues develop and function, particularly using zebrafish as a model organism. Zebrafish are transparent at early stages, which allows scientists to observe biological processes in real time. The research at Zon Laboratory aims to uncover fundamental principles of biology that can lead to new treatments for diseases such as cancer and genetic disorders.
