Professional Interests As a member of the clinical team at The Hospital for Sick Children I am working on developing a Skeletal Dysplasias and Inherited bone disorders clinic. We have a multidisciplinary team of health professionals interested in providing the best evaluation and care to patients with skeletal defects. From the perspective of the basic science research, I am interested in mapping genes that participate during membranous bone development, in particular the genes for the CDAGS and Yunis-Varon syndromes Return
