Welcome to the Duboué Lab. Our lab is located at the MacArthur Campus of Florida Atlantic University, and is part of the Jupiter Life Science Initiative and a member of the Fish TriLab. Our lab focuses on how the brain drives behavior, and how subtle changes to neural circuits may lead to modified behavior. We study stress, and we use small fish models such as zebrafish and cavefish to address these questions. Enjoy our site, and please contact us if you have any questions.
