NFIN - The Nothobranchius furzeri Information Network

The species Nothobranchius furzeri possesses several characteristics which make it a particularly attractive model system for age research:

• Inbred line GRZ shows a captive lifespan of only three months.
• There is large variation in life-history traits between different isolates.
• Lifespan can be prolonged by environmental manipulations and drugs.

The aim of this website is to provide information on N. furzeri and to foster the development of a group of interest which aims at creating a consortium to establish this organism as a model for developmental and age research.
