Personal Statement
As a physician-scientist, I am dedicated to providing care to families with rare genetic disorders. As a clinician, I believe that it is vital to provide genetic evaluation, diagnosis and counseling to families under our care. As a researcher, I am focused on discovering the genetic basis of rare disorders as well as understanding their underlying mechanism in order to develop new therapies and treatments.
