My clinical specialty is diagnostic genetics. As a fellow in the Genetics and Genomics Diagnostic Laboratory, I help analyze, interpret and report genetic test results of patients with hereditary or acquired disorders. I also develop and validate new genetic tests in the lab. While I don’t see patients often, I’m mindful that every case I review in the lab is a patient; therefore, maximum efforts should be given to each case.
I am also a researcher interested in hematological disorders, neurodevelopmental disorders and precision medicine.
When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with family, sightseeing and playing chess.
