Michelle Collins is an Assistant Professor in the College of Medicine at the University of Saskatchewan. She holds a PhD in Genetics from McGill University and completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the Max Planck Institute for Heart and Lung Research, specializing in developmental genetics. Her research focuses on heart development, particularly the molecular mechanisms that lead to congenital heart defects. Utilizing zebrafish as a model organism, she investigates the genetic underpinnings of heart formation and function. Collins’ lab aims to clarify the genes required for proper cardiac development and how mutations in these genes can result in inherited cardiomyopathies and arrhythmias, diseases that have a significant genetic component and impact cardiovascular development.
