- Overview
-
My research focuses on improving the understanding of how chromosomal abnormalities result in an abnormal phenotype (e.g. cancer, malformations, or intellectual disability). I am also interested in the applications of genomics to the area of clinical diagnosis.

New study is the first to identify an expanded section of DNA as the cause of a rare genetic metabolic disorder
A new study from BC Children’s, UBC and an international team of researchers published in the New England Journal of Medicine is the first to identify a rarely-seen type of DNA mutation as the cause of an inherited metabolic disorder.
