<p class="jove_content">In order to understand the molecular mechanisms of the ethanol-induced developmental damage, we have developed a zebrafish model of ethanol exposure and are exploring the physical, cellular, and genetic alterations that occur after ethanol exposure<sup>1</sup>.  We then seek to find potential interventions and rapidly test them in this animal model.</p>
