Fishing for regenerative therapies
Using the African turquoise killifish as a model for studying therapies and interventions to expand healthy lifespan.

MDI Biolab Grant Adds to Model Animal Roster
The MDI Biological Laboratory has received a $75,000 donation grant from The Cotswold Foundation that will add the African turquoise killifish (Nothobranchius furzeri) to its growing roster of animal models, thus strengthening the institution’s longstanding tradition of engaging in comparative research to gain an understanding of the mechanisms involved in aging and regeneration.

MDI Biological Laboratory Will Use African Turquoise Killifish Model to Study Aging
The study of therapies and interventions to expand healthy human lifespan has been limited by a lack of animal models: traditional vertebrate models such as the mouse live too long to get rapid results, while the most popular model, a roundworm called C.elegans that lives for only three weeks, is rungs away from humans on the evolutionary ladder.
