Research Focus
Dr. Stephanie M. Ware leads a research lab focused on understanding the genetic basis of congenital heart disease and undiagnosed rare diseases. The lab explores how specific genes, like SHROOM3, contribute to heart malformations and uses a range of genomic techniques to identify patients at risk for rare genetic conditions. Their work aims to improve healthcare access and diagnostic methods for underserved populations in Indiana.
