Several DRN members (present and past) attended and presented work at the recent #UKZF2025 #zebrafish meeting in Exmouth and Exeter.
Many thanks to the organisers Steffen @scholpplab.bsky.social, Carol @yhcarolyang.bsky.social, Soojin, Greg and Nik for a great meeting!
A huge thank you to everyone who made #UKZF2025 possible 🙌🐟 From inspiring talks and posters to lively discussions and community spirit — your energy and contributions turned this meeting into a real success. 💙✨
We came back buzzing with ideas, exciting new collaborations, and renewed energy for our #zebrafish research. Delighted this meeting will continue — see you in Edinburgh, 2027! #UKZF2025
Also proud of our talented undergraduate student, Shubha Behara, whose work underpinned the project I presented on the role of #Eph/Ephrin signalling in tissue #regeneration #UKZF2025
🌊🐟 Back from the 1st UK #Zebrafish Meeting in Exmouth & Exeter! A beautiful setting and an inspiring few days of science and community🧬✨
Absolutely thrilled that my brilliant MRes student, Abigail Kite, won first prize for her poster presentation 🏆👏. #UKZF2025
Grateful to be part of this strong #zebrafish community in the UK. Reflections from the #UKZF2025 delegates as we concluded the meeting at LSI-Exeter @lsiexeter.bsky.social
All the hard work during the workshop at #UKZF2025 🐟💡 was rewarded with a joyful gala dinner — science, community & celebration coming together in style ✨🥂
Day 2 concluded with a history of #zebrafish research in the UK by Phil Ingham and more networking at the Gala dinner #UKZF2025
Great to see ECRs presenting their research at the poster sessions #UKZF2025
Day 2 of #UKZF2025 started with a Keynote by Karuna Sampath. Exciting insights on early embryo development and how the Balbiani body is analogous to nesting dolls 🪆

Jeremie and Rabia presenting (on fracture repair and cell lineages in scales respectively) at #UKZF2025 - proud PI alert!
One of the best parts of #UKZF2025 🐟✨ — old friends reconnecting, new colleagues meeting for the first time, all sharing ideas and energy to drive science forward together 💡🤝
🚨 Lots of cool science happening in the UK #zebrafish community, from fundamental biology to disease modelling! Thanks to @biologists.bsky.social and @gensocuk.bsky.social for supporting #UKZF2025 🐟👩🔬👨🔬
Day 1 of #UKZF2025 ended with a fantastic talk by David Lyons @lyons-lab.bsky.social We learned about a conserved mechanism of myelin repair that was first discovered in #zebrafish. 🤯
Day 1 of #UKZF2025 is here! 🎉🐟 The conference kicks off in Exeter & Exmouth — packed with science, networking, and community. Let’s dive in! 🚀 @izfs.bsky.social @zebrafishrock.bsky.social @lsiexeter.bsky.social @zebrafishhusbandry.bsky.social
What started as a small idea has grown into a buzzing UKZF2025 — and now we’re treated to an incredible line-up of super science talks from our brilliant UK ECRs! 🐟✨ #UKZF2025
🐟🎟 Long queues at the #UKZF2025 registration desk this morning — thank you all for your patience and enthusiasm! The buzz is real, and we’re so excited to get started 🚀
Our fantastic crew of helpers are ready to welcome delegates to the 1st UK Zebrafish Meeting! #UKZF2025 #zebrafish
It’s all coming together beautifully — #UKZF2025 is really taking shape 🐟✨ We can’t wait to share this vibrant meeting with you all!
🚨 Final bits are falling into place for #UKZF2025 🎉 The organisers are buzzing with excitement and can’t wait to welcome the zebrafish community to Exeter & Exmouth TODAY 🐟✨
