Welcome back to a long-awaited episode with the esteemed Dr. Michelle Collins! The heart is a complex organ with a very important job -- if it doesn’t develop according to plan, the consequences can be disastrous. Dr. Collins (Assistant Professor in the dept. Of Anatomy, Physiology and Pharmacology, University of Saskatchewan) and her lab seek to understand the genetics underlying heart formation, in order to better understand cardiac diseases. How might one study such a thing? Using the tiny (and adorable) zebrafish, of course! Tune in to hear more about heart science, and Dr. Collins’ research journey.
