Overview
The Swiss Zebrafish Meeting is an annual conference that brings together researchers from various fields of developmental biology, biomedical research, toxicology and evolution. During the meeting, researchers can exchange results and new technological developments. The event also coincides with the General Assembly of the Swiss Society for Zebrafish Research.
