Beautifully, it is performed by a senior undergraduate thesis student, Mohammed! We developed a 3-D printed #zebrafish embryo imaging chamber 🔬and connected it to syringe pumps to be able to perfuse drugs in a timely fashion. 🧪02 Oct 2025 02:27 +0000at://did:plc:cwjnpyepprfnduzogdb3gjhl/app.bsky.feed.post/3m26ixqe3jc2a
