Areas of Research
My research uses next-generation sequencing to identify the genetic contribution underlying rare disease with a particular interest in providing a rapid diagnosis to critically ill children. I have a specific focus in identifying novel genes that describe the underlying biology of neurodevelopmental conditions including seizure disorders, intellectual disability, and structural brain abnormalities. The other area of research that I am interested in is understanding the influence of our genetic makeup on diseases of aging including Alzheimer disease and related dementias. I am specifically interested in understanding how modifiable risk factors including exercise, diet, and cardiometabolic risk factors can influence a potentially damaging genetic trajectory of aging.
