Funded Activity Summary

This project seeks to develop a zebrafish model for a genetic muscle-wasting disease called facioscapulohumeral dystrophy (FSHD). Our zebrafish model will enable us to better understand the biological mechanisms underlying the disease, as well as provide a platform for therapeutic testing and discovery.
