Robbert Creton received his B.S. in Biology in 1990 and Ph.D. in Developmental Biology in 1994 from the University of Utrecht in the Netherlands. He completed his post-doctoral training in developmental physiology at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Massachusetts. In 2002, he joined Brown University as a professor in Medical Science and Pathology Laboratory Medicine. His research focuses on brain development and visually-guided behavior using a zebrafish model system, providing insights into biological mechanisms that contribute to human disorders such as visual impairment and developmental brain disorders. Creton directs the Leduc Bioimaging Facility, offering training in high-resolution imaging for life sciences. His lab's collaborative work includes projects assessing the impacts of developmental exposures and developing automated systems for behavioral analysis. Creton's funding comes from various NIH grants supporting his investigations into calcium signaling, neural dysfunction, and the effects of toxic exposures on brain development.
