As the Hearst Fellow, Peter Fabian studies small fish in a big pond

During his career as a developmental biologist, Hearst Fellow Peter Fabian has studied many kinds of fish—from bichir and sturgeon, to gar and medaka. However, his favorite is the zebrafish, the current focus of his postdoctoral training in the USC Stem Cell laboratory of Gage Crump.

“I like zebrafish most,” said Fabian. “It’s a very convenient, small fish. It’s a perfect model organism.”
