MARYAM FISH

MSc (Med)

I was born and grew up in Cape Town. I matriculated in 2004 and went on to study at the University of Cape Town (UCT) from 2005 to the present. I completed my BSc in Genetics and Physiology at UCT in 2007, my BSc (Med) Honours at UCT in 2008 and my MSc (Med) at UCT in 2010. I am currently doing my PhD (Med) in Cardiovascular Genetics at UCT.

Current Research

I am working on the genetic causes of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy and dilated cardiomyopathy, as well as other types of cardiomyopathy. My focus is on identifying the genetic causes of these diseases in a number of families, and also,how these genetic factors lead to the development of disease.
