Zebrafish Husbandry Education at the University of Alabama at Birmingham

Zebrafish husbandry education courses sponsored by the Zebrafish Husbandry Association (ZHA) are available at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB). These are taught in two formats: an Online Course and a Short Course. Course content was developed by a team of ZHA members with expertise in optimal zebrafish husbandry practices in the biomedical research setting. The curriculum encourage standardization of husbandry methods and subsequently of research results.
