Research in the Creton laboratory is focused on brain development and behavior, using zebrafish as a model system. The studies aim to provide a better understanding of cell signaling in the brain and contribute to the prevention and treatment of various human disorders, including visual impairment, developmental brain disorders, and Alzheimer’s disease.
