Research in the McGraw seeks to understand how sensory cells develop and regeneration in growing animals. We use the zebrafish (Danio rerio) as a model because it is an excellent organism for the study of developmental biology. We use zebrafish to study the development and regeneration of sensory cells. We are particularly focused on the lateral line mechanosensory system, which allows fish and other aquatic vertebrates to sense water current.
