  • Team deciphers how myotonic dystrophy generates lethal heart dysfunctions

    Researchers determined key molecular events that lead to heart abnormalities in myotonic dystrophy. The team included, from left, bioengineering professor Lawrence Dobrucki, postdoctoral fellow Jamila Hedhli, biochemistry professor Auinash Kalsotra, graduate student Sushant Bangru, research scientist Chaitali Misra and graduate student Kin Lam.
