Dr. Amanda G. Sandoval-Karamian

Dr. Josh Bonkowsky is an associate professor of Pediatric Neurology (Pediatrics) and of Neurology. He obtained his MD and PhD degrees at the University of California. His undergraduate training was at Harvard University, and his Pediatrics and Neurology/Pediatric Neurology training was at the University of Utah and Boston Children's Hospital. His clinical studies are focused on understanding clinical features of leukodystrophies and genetics of complex human neurobehavioral traits, especially language impairments. Dr. Bonkowsky's clinical research group is investigating genetics of leukodystrophies to understand the genetic and medical impacts of these disorders. The Bonkowsky Laboratory is generating disease models for high-throughput drug discovery and investigating human neurogenetic diseases, specifically diseases of basal ganglia function and white matter diseases. On sunny afternoons, Dr. Bonkowsky enjoys trail running and learning to skate ski. Dr. Bonkowsky is highly rated in 14 conditions, according to our data. His top areas of expertise are CACH Syndrome, Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD), Leukodystrophy, Krabbe Disease, and Gastrostomy.

Russell Butterfield, MD, PhD received his PhD in mammalian genetics, and medical degree from the University of Illinois. He completed his residency training in pediatric neurology at the University of Utah in June 2009. He is currently an Associate Professor in the Departments of Neurology and Pediatrics, after completing a fellowship in neuromuscular disorders sponsored by the Muscular Dystrophy Association. Dr. Butterfield is board certified in Neurology with special qualification in child neurology. Dr. Butterfield�s clinical interests include all types of neurogenetic and neuromuscular disorders with an emphasis on muscular dystrophies of childhood onset. His research interests are in understanding genetic aspects of these disorders. His current efforts are in characterization of genotype/phenotype relationships and molecular pathogenesis in collagen VI myopathies such as Bethlem myopathy and Ullrich congenital muscular dystrophy. Dr. Butterfield is highly rated in 24 conditions, according to our data. His top areas of expertise are Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, Becker Muscular Dystrophy, Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy (FSHD), and Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA).
