In this episode of PNRI Science: Mystery and Discovery, PNRI CEO Jack Faris sits down with Dr. Aimée Dudley, Senior Investigator and Interim Chief Scientific Officer at PNRI, to explore the innovative ways her lab is advancing genetic research. Dr. Dudley shares how her team uses yeast to uncover which genetic variants are responsible for diseases, particularly focusing on diagnosing rare conditions like urea cycle disorders in newborns. With a unique blend of creativity and collaboration between scientists, physicians, and patient families, Dr. Dudley’s work is accelerating breakthroughs in healthcare. Tune in to discover how this research is transforming the future of genetic diagnosis and hear about Dr. Dudley’s inspiring journey into science.
