Murray State University researchers are opening their labs for us on Friday afternoon after the poster session.  This is a SELF GUIDED event, with the exception of the Agriculture campus tour which will be going as as a group. Minors under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or chaperone during the Lab Crawl.

Visit and tour some labs for a couple hours before you return to the Curris Center for dinner with your fellow scientists and then evening events.

The Kentucky Academy of Science Annual Meeting is an interdisciplinary professional environment that cultivates scientific discovery and understanding. Thank you for contributing to our advancement of science by behaving professionally, respectfully and collegially at all times.

The ZeRuth Lab (Logan Hall, Room BG 2118) investigates the mechanisms by which transcription factor networks determine cell fates during development, and how mutations within these pathways disrupt normal cellular function to cause disease.  Using the zebrafish as a model organism alongside mammalian tissue culture, our lab uses molecular and genetic techniques to characterize developmental pathways and to gain a better understanding of the underlying molecular mechanisms that drive cell fate specification decisions.  It is hoped that our research will help identify therapeutic targets for the treatment or prevention of metabolic disease and ultimately allow for the development of tissues that can be grown in vitro for transplantation therapy.
