Paul Goldsmith, PhD, and his co-founders established DanioLabs Ltd. in October 2001 to develop new drugs for neuro-ophthalmologic disorders. Frustrated at the lack of effective treatments available in these areas, neurologist Goldsmith set about using zebrafish models of human disease to identify both novel drug targets and effective new drugs.
DanioLabs Ltd.
DanioLabs Ltd. was established in October 2001 to develop new drugs for neuro-ophthalmologic disorders. Frustrated at the lack of effective treatments available in these areas, the company's founder set about using zebrafish models of human disease to identify both novel drug targets and effective new drugs. Zebrafish can be manipulated to provide particularly good models of a number of human diseases, including CNS, ophthalmologic, digestive and cardiovascular system disorders.
