Monkol Lek: How an Australian researcher is changing the genetics game

When a rare medical condition (limb girdle muscular dystrophy) struck Monkol Lek in his early twenties, he took matters into his own hands and retrained in human genetics at the University of Sydney at Westmead. Monkol is now at the forefront of genetic research at Yale and his findings so far have the potential to be game changing for a number of diseases. Hear him share insights into his incredible work and story. This was recorded at a Sydney Ideas event held on Monday 20 May at the University of Sydney.
