On April 19, 1898, Camillo Golgi first described what we now call the Golgi apparatus - a structure so striking and unusual that it took more than 50 years for scientists to accept it wasnโt just an artefact.
April 19 is #GolgiDay! Celebrate the cellโs most iconic and best organelle.

Hi all! ๐
Looking for a plasmid with the gnrh3 promoter driving a FP (GFP or similar) ๐
The construct itself โ not a transgenic fish line.
Does anyone have it or know a lab that does? ๐

You might be a good match if your idea is:
๐น Too bold or risky for traditional funders
๐น Strongly interdisciplinary
๐น Best tackled by an international team
