Funded Activity Summary

The heart is the first organ to become functional as an embryo forms, reflecting its critical role in sustaining life. Mistakes that occur as the heart develops have devastating consequences for an individualÍs survival and health. We have identified two zebrafish mutants with heart defects and, using sophisticated imaging and genetic studies, will investigate these defects and identify the genes responsible. This research will improve our understanding of correct and diseased heart formation.
