DESCRIPTION:Dr. Fisher’s work has been instrumental in establishing the 
 zebrafish as a model organism for the study of skeletal dysplasias\, inclu
 ding her identification of a zebrafish model for Osteogenesis Imperfecta (
 brittle bone disease) and publication of the first osteoblast markers. She
  pioneered the use of zebrafish to analyze transcriptional and regulatory 
 elements from the human genome\, and has identified and studied dozens of 
 enhancers associated with skeletal genes. Her most recent efforts are focu
 sed on skull development\, an area of tremendous clinical relevance not we
 ll studied in zebrafish.
