The Butantan Institute in S\u00e3o Paulo officially opened a vivarium with the capacity to raise up to 3,000 adult zebrafish. This species is increasingly used as an animal model in scientific research, primarily in the field of health. The laboratory is housed at the Center for Research on Toxins, Immune-Response and Cell Signaling (CeTICS), one of the Research, Innovation and Dissemination Centers (RIDC) that FAPESP funds. \u201cOur idea is that CeTICS and various other groups will be able to perform studies at this facility,\u201d says Monica Lopes-Ferreira, coordinator of the zebrafish vivarium. According to CeTICS coordinator Hugo Armelin, the momentum for creating the laboratory sprang up three years ago, while the Center for Applied Toxinology (CAT) was still operating (the project was approved during the initial round of funding for the RIDC program and turned into CeTICS). \u201cThe zebrafish has been one of the most explored genetic models in the world for over two decades, yet here in Brazil there are still no laboratories that are performing truly competitive work in this area,\u201d Armelin told Ag\u00eancia FAPESP<\/em>. The proposal calls for introducing this fish into research environments that currently use mice and rats.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Butantan creates a zebrafish vivarium","protected":false},"author":475,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[162],"tags":[209,237],"coauthors":[785],"class_list":["post-214301","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-strategies","tag-biology","tag-genetics"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/214301","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/475"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=214301"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/214301\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=214301"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=214301"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=214301"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=214301"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
