Abstract:
Whereas small molecule discovery has traditionally focused on simple, in vitro assays, many biological phenomena are difficult to reduce to an in vitro assay. The Peterson lab is using the tools of chemical biology to investigate these complex in vivo phenomena. By conducting high-throughput screens with intact, living zebrafish, small molecules can be discovered that alter virtually any biological process. The lab is applying this approach in three areas: 1) developmental biology, including primordial germ cell development; 2) disease physiology, including heart failure; and 3) animal behaviors. In each of these areas, the novel small molecules discovered are providing new biological insights and/or novel therapeutic opportunities.
