Frogs Contribute to Science at Fred Hutch
Frogs have significantly contributed to science at Fred Hutch, serving as a model organism that shares much of human biology.
After a nearly two-decade absence, Yasuhiro Arimura has reintroduced them to the facility for a new era of scientific research.
In the summer of 2024, a shipment of 30 live African clawed frogs arrived at the Fred Hutch Cancer Center, marking the beginning of a new chapter in research.
The frogs were placed in a new frog room in the Basic Sciences Division, where they were housed in long white-framed water tanks with plastic tubes and lily pads for them to hide and swim.
The amphibians were delivered to the new frog room and transferred into long white-framed water tanks stacked on blue racks like bunk beds.
