ERGO is improving hazard assessment of #EndocrineDisruptors by breaking down the wall that exists between research of adverse effects in zebrafish & amphibians & humans, demonstrating an adverse effect in a zebrafish should also raise concern for an adverse effect in humans🧪🐟🧍
🐟 Can zebrafish bridge the gap between aquaculture and medicine? Join us as we explore zebrafish research for insights into skeletal anomalies in fish and humans. 🌊 🎧Tune in to the #CORDISCOVERY podcast 👉 europa.eu/!tTPwKR
