Juliane Mueller and Michele Giunta from the IGM took part in the Halloween Late at Life this year (http://www.life.org.uk/whats-on/halloween-late#.VafRLPkz6VA) and presented an exciting table entitled ‘Zombie, vampire and vlad tepes: how zebrafish mutants help us to understand the human body and diseases’. The table was very popular and Juliane and Michele received many visitors during the evening. We hope that you got a chance to see them and enjoyed chatting to them about their exciting projects!
