Keith & Russ talk with Emilia Galperin, Assistant Professor, Department of Molecular & Cellular Biochemistry, University of Kentucky. Galperin studies the molecular pathways in which the mutations that cause Noonan Syndrome occur. People with Noonan Syndrome share similar facial features, short stature, possible heart defects, and the risk for developmental disabilities. Galperin also explains why zebrafish embryos are studied for this and other genetic disorders.
