Duke University Hospital
My practice includes caring for children and adults with inherited conditions, such as inherited disorders of metabolism, genetic syndromes, mitochondrial disorders, inherited causes of growth failure or developmental delay, and conditions detected by newborn screening. My clinic works with the Pediatric Biochemical Genetics Laboratory to diagnose these conditions. We provide treatment for inherited disorders of metabolism. I work closely with the geneticists, neurologists, pediatricians, internists, and other providers at Duke University Medical Center to provide comprehensive care for my patients. My research has been aimed at developing new treatments for inherited conditions, focusing on glycogen storage diseases, like Pompe disease and von Gierke disease. We have developed gene therapy for these conditions and are in the process of starting clinical trials to test safety and benefits.

Lenox Baker Children's Hospital
I find joy and satisfaction in my dedication to the care of children with rare diseases specifically: genetic disorders and inherited disorders of metabolism. Due to many years of training and practice, I have experience involving care of patients with a variety of genetic and metabolic conditions, including but not limited to glycogen storage diseases, fatty acid oxidation defects, mitochondrial disorders, lysosomal storage diseases, urea cycle disorders, organic acidurias, aminoacidopathies, and infantile hepatopathy due to LARS mutations, etc. I enjoy working together with children and their parents, whom I consider an important part of the team. I pursued this field because it gives me great satisfaction and pleasure to see the children with these conditions grow, and the patients and families feel cared for, and not isolated. I love learning about the children's interests, and see that they grow happy and healthy. I think out of the box when there is a challenge that needs to be met for the patient's care and management.
