Unravelling gene networks in heart development and congenital heart disease [ 2014 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Mirana Ramialison (Principal investigator)

Brief description One in 100 Australian babies are affected by heart malformations. The heart is a complex organ and its formation is likewise orchestrated by a complex network of genes. As our current knowledge of this network is limited, I aim to employ cutting-edge bioinformatics approaches to draw a comprehensive picture of genes required to build a healthy heart and to reveal which gene interactions are altered in congenital heart disease, thereby opening new perspectives for network biology-based therapies.
