Once again this year, the Becker group will be showing you the beautiful world of zebrafish research at the CRTD as part of the Long Night of Science! This time, in addition to exciting insights into our research on spinal cord regeneration, you can expect lots of interactive tasks and stations for every age. You can find us on the third floor of the CRTD by following the zebrafish signs.

The Becker Group joined the fifth annual NCT/UCC-Benefizlauf (benefit run) to support cancer research! Organized by the Nationale Centrum für Tumorerkrankungen Dresden (NCT/UCC), members of the group contributed 26 kilometers to the day’s total!

The Becker Group again organized the zebrafish room at the CRTD for the Long Night of Science! This year, the demonstrations and activities were hosted in conjunction with the Campàs Group from the Physics of Life (PoL) Cluster of Excellence at the TU Dresden. Hundreds of visitors came to the CRTD to see the wide range of science taking place in the CMCB and at PoL.

The Becker and Ninov Groups hosted the zebrafish room at the Long Night of Science 2022! People of all ages visited the CRTD to learn about the interesting tools, model organisms, and research questions being used and studied across the CMCB. Zebrafish are important models at the CRTD for studying spinal cord regeneration, beta cell regeneration, central nervous system regeneration, bone regeneration, and neuroplasticity.
