Dr. Genevieve Kendall came to UT Southwestern because she wanted to work with zebrafish, which are an excellent model for studying childhood cancer. Because the young fish develop outside the mother's body, it's easy to insert human cancer-related genes into the fish genome, and drugs can be tested simply by adding them to the water.
