- Overview
-
I am interested in using genomic technology to investigate the genetic causes of developmental disorders such as autism and intellectual disability, and also in determining the role that genetics plays in schizophrenia and other related neuropsychiatric disorders. My goal is to contribute to the development of treatment options for some of these devastating disorders.

The MAGERS Study
The MAGERS study is an innovative, intensive pilot exploration of treatment-resistant/refractory psychosis using three complementary, cutting-edge genomics technologies (whole exome sequencing, chromosomal microarray screening, and gene expression profiling), and both extended clinical biochemical screens as well as investigational metabolomics aimed at identifying high-penetrance genomic risk variants in schizophrenia, including those causing inborn errors of metabolism. The hope is to identify mechanisms of symptom production and treatable metabolic disorders that may lead to more effective and better-tolerated treatment for individuals suffering with treatment-resistant/refractory schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder.
