This site is dedicated to my research only. My research involves
the annual killifish Nothobranchius furzeri and the biology
of its development and aging. This research is a spin-off a
project started by Dr. Allesandro Cellerino at the Istituto di
Neuroscienze del CNR, Pisa Italy and the Scuola Normale Superiore
(also in Pisa Italy). Dr. Cellerino now continues his research in
Jena Germany at the Leibniz Institute for Aging Research. Dr.
Cellerino maintains a website through the Leibniz Institute as
well as
Nothobranchius
Information Center. My research is an
Investigation of neurodevelopment, degeneration and polyphenol induced neuroprotection in Nothobranchius furzeri (HTM or PDF).
For more information I can be contacted at killires at

the UCT Medical School Department of Human Biology,
Division of Cell Biology and the NRF
as well Killi-Data.org and an anonymous benefactor.
