Recent decades have seen an explosion in the techniques scientists use to study genes.

In this episode of Research Pulse, we learn how knowledge about genes can have life-changing impact for families experiencing difficult and sometimes devastating health challenges. Examples include inherited forms of blood cancer, and pregnancy loss due to genetic factors. 

We speak to Hamish Scott, Professor and Head of Genetics and Molecular Pathology at SA Pathology. Hamish says genetic technologies can solve medical mysteries and ease emotional turmoil for families in South Australia and across the world.
