Summary

  • I am an Associate Professor in the Section of Medical Genetics, Department of Pediatrics at Duke University School of Medicine. I see patients with Mitochondrial and Lysosomal Storage diseases, Developmental delay, Intellectual Disability, Chromosomal disorders, Congenital defects, Short stature, Failure to thrive and Adult genetic disorders. I use telemedicine extensively and applies the rapidly growing genetic knowledge to treat patients with a variety of medical problems which involve complex interaction of genetic and environmental factors, particularly since the Human Genome Project. I am interested in using the massive power of sequencing technology and artificial intelligence/machine learning to predict phenotypes from genotypes with increasing clinical relevance to human health. I graduated from University of Rochester School of Medicine with Distinction in Research and published >50 peer-reviewed articles (selected PMIDs 34143952, 33851505, 33811806, 33645542, 33778323) and given many presentations at scientific meetings and invited lectures throughout the country.
