The Hajeri Lab participates in community outreach activities to inspire and excite K-12 learners about research and science. The lab also strives to engage in outreach activities that increase student awareness about possible careers in biology, medicine, and the natural sciences. We love working with educators to improve their student’s grade-level proficiency in life sciences.

UTD Professor Dr. Hajeri Visited Mrs. Jarvis’s 8th Grade Science Classes
Assistant Professor of Instruction at UTD and Biomedical Scientist Vinita Hajeri, Ph.D. is actively using zebrafish to improve teacher practice and STEM proficiency of K-12 learners. This week during their final exam period, Mrs. Jarvis’s 8th grade science students learned about the biomedical research being done with zebrafish. Students observed firsthand how scientists are researching zebrafish embryos and how they play an important role in that research. Dr. Hajeri is the director of the Zebrafish Summer Institute at UTD.
