Professional Statement
My clinical and research interests involve connective tissue disorders such as Marfan syndrome and Loeys-Dietz syndrome, conditions that lead to aortic aneurysms and dissections. I am particularly interested in identifying new genes associated with such aortopathies and exploring the mechanisms of genetically-mediated aneurysm development. I also study Xia-Gibbs syndrome, a developmental disorder due to truncating mutations in the AHDC1 gene. The goal of these research efforts is to develop new therapies to improve outcomes. Among the tools I use are whole exome and genome sequencing as well as RNAseq.As a member of the adult genetics team I diagnose and manage adults with a variety of genetic conditions (e.g., cancer). I am also the assistant director of the HGSC CAP/CLIA clinical lab where I perform analysis, interpretation, and reporting of sequencing data. I am committed to the growing field of personalized medicine through the eMERGE and BCM Cardiovascular Disease Genetics efforts. Lastly, I am dedicated to education and enjoy teaching about principles of genetics.
