Get to know Daryl A. Scott, MD, PhD
Dr. Daryl Scott, Clinical Geneticist at Texas Children’s Hospital and Professor of Molecular and Human Genetics at Baylor College of Medicine, oversees a research laboratory dedicated to identifying the genetic causes of common birth defects with specific emphasis on congenital diaphragmatic hernia and congenital heart defects. Board-certified in both Pediatrics and Clinical Genetics, Dr. Scott cares for children with a variety of genetic disorders and collaborates with physicians and scientists from around the world to identify novel disease genes.
Dr. Scott has published numerous articles in peer-reviewed journals and is actively engaged in training medical students, residents, fellows and MS and PhD graduate students. He is the recipient of many awards and accolades, including the Fulbright and Jaworski LLP Faculty Excellence Award for Teaching/Evaluation at Baylor College of Medicine.
Outside of work, Dr. Scott enjoys camping, hiking, long-distance running, cycling and swimming. He and his wife, Apryl, have seven children.
