• A lateral view of a 60 hours post fertilisation transgenic zebrafish embryo. (Kate Turner)
  
• A ventral view of a 60 hours post fertilisation transgenic zebrafish embryo. (Kate Turner)
  
• A dorsal view of a 3 days post fertilisation zebrafish embryo labelled with anti-calretinin antibody(green) and anti-acetylated tubulin(red) antibody that labels neuronal tracts.(Kate Turner)

• A frontal view of a 3 days post fertilisation zebrafish embryo labelled with anti-calretinin antibody(green) and anti-acetylated tubulin(red) antibody that labels neuronal tracts. Calretinin is a calcium binding protein, important for calcium signalling in the brain. (Kate Turner)
  
• A dorsal view of a 3 days post fertilisation Tg(Dlx4/6:GFP) embryo. The embryo has been has been labelled with anti GFP(green) and anti-acetylated tubulin antibody(red) that labels neuronal tracts. (Kate Turner)
  
• A dorsal view of a 4 days post fertilisation Tg(Dlx4/6:GFP) embryo. The embryo has been has been labelled with anti GFP(green), anti-acetylated tubulin antibody(red) that labels neuronal tracts and anti-SV2(blue) that stains neuropil. (Monica Folguiera)

The Research Department of Cell and Developmental Biology is one of the largest departments at UCL. It is part of the Division of Biosciences in the Faculty of Life Sciences (FLS) and brings together excellent, internationally competitive cell, developmental and evolutionary biologists to provide coherence of research strategy in the exciting fields of Life Science.

The Young Embryologist Network was set up in 2008 by PhD students in the UCL Research Department of Cell & Developmental Biology under the guiding hand of Dr Yoshiyuki Yamamoto. The purpose of the network came from a desire to improve communication in the research environment for PhD and Post-Doc embryologists.
