I have 16 years of experience, and specialize in the field of human genetics/pediatrics, with specific knowledge in the areas of clinical genetics, birth defects and molecular biology. I have published on such topics as chromosome abnormalities, birth defects, and obesity and metabolism. I have testified on cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome (deposition). I am a national institute of health funded investigator with a clinical focus in human genetics in a large academic center known for its strength in genetics. I have examined more than 1000 patients with rare genetic disorders, and have several publications in this area.
