Michael P Craig, MS
Mike has a B.A. in Microbiology and an M.S. in molecular biology combined with over 14 years experience in the field. He has served as the lab manager for the Hove research laboratory since 2004.

Mike is responsible for the development of robust phenotyping tools to assess zebrafish physiology either longitudinally or under pathophysiologic conditions. Phenotyping tools currently under development include micro-scale EKG, servo-null blood pressure measurement, static and forced-swim respirometry, blood and kidney flow mapping (using DPIV), and behavioral monitoring. Phenotyping is supplemented by cutting-edge imaging techniques such as high-speed confocal imaging of intravital blood flow at 240fps and high-speed brightfield imaging at speeds up to 4,000fps!

Of note…
• Attended the Jim Pawley Live-Cell Confocal Imaging Course, Vancouver 2006
• Awarded Kidney Foundation of Greater Cincinnati grant as co-PI in 2005 entitled "The role of shear stress on cyst development in the pronephric kidney."
• Presented “High Speed Confocal Microscopy: Adding Dimension to Your Data,” UC Microscopy Club seminar (invited lecturer), Aug 2006.
