Most genetic disorders are present from birth and some are quite rare, sometimes affecting only one person in every several thousand or million. Join Dr. Jonatan Matalonga as he shares more about his work on the discovery of new genetic disorders and improving our understanding of those we already know. Using zebrafish, mouse models, patient cells and stem cell technologies, he and is fellow researchers are probing the pathological mechanisms of genetic disorders to address unanswered questions.

Since our Heikoff Dome Theater will be closed for renovation, we will be hosting this event in our Community Forum. Seating will be limited and we encourage you to purchase your tickets online in advance of the event.
