Clinical Assistant Professor
Medicine
I am a Clinical Assistant Professor in Pediatric Genetics, who has done additional training in Medical Biochemical Genetics and serves as co-director for the University of Michigan Rare Disease Therapeutics Program. My passion lies in expanding patient access to life-changing treatments, particularly for propionic acidemia. With a focus on newborn screening and long-term outcomes, I hope to identify improved biomarkers to better determine early signs of metabolic decompensations.
