Description of CVI Expertise
CVI Program Unit(s):Cardiovascular Development / Congenital Heart Disease
CVI Research Description:
I am involved with the SCCOR program in pediatric cardiology. As a Clinical geneticist, I am interested in applying information gained from fine mapping genomic rearrangments in children with congenital heart defects, to uncovering genes and genomic regions that may underlie their etiology. We are also working with developmental biologists to assess the expression pattern of candidate genes in xenopus, zebrafish, and mouse models.
