Studying structural birth defects utilizing novel genomic editing techniques in mice.
I utilize mouse models and genome editing to better understand structural birth defects, such as congenital diaphragmatic hernias. By using novel genome editing techniques I am modeling patient specific variants in mice to increase our understanding about how single variants, or a combination of multiple variants, lead to these debilitating and often lethal defects. I am also using these studies to determine what genes and genetic pathways are critical in the development of birth defects.
