  I am an experienced molecular biologist and an expert in the inherited neuro- and cardio-degenerative mitochondrial disorder, Friedreich ataxia (FA). I was the founding Scientific Director of the Friedreich's Ataxia Research Alliance (FARA), I was the primary organizer of the first three international FA research conferences, and I have published widely in the field. I am the Co-director (with my colleague, the neurologist Dr. David Lynch) of the Center of Excellence for Friedreich's Ataxia Research here at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. With funding from an NIH Director's Transformative Research Award, I co-invented and validated the first random shRNA-expressing libraries. My lab has used these libraries in an unbiased, pooled approach to identify shRNA sequences that confer selected phenotypes (as shRNAs or as siRNAs) in cell-culture models, including for FA, and we have used gene-expression and bioinformatic analyses of hit shRNAs to identify conventional chemical-compound therapeutic candidates that recapitulate phenotypes induced by our shRNAs. I also have experience in more conventional drug development, specifically for FA: we designed and implemented conventional high-throughput screens, developed mammalian cell-culture and zebrafish models for secondary testing, and are working with medicinal chemists on hit-optimization. We are also using our FA models to test compounds developed by pharmaceutical companies and other academic investigators. I have completed most of the course requirements for a Master’s Degree in Clinical Epidemiology here at the University of Pennsylvania, including graduate-level courses in statistics, machine learning, and advanced Bayesian data analytics. I am a board-certified molecular genetic pathologist, with more than 25 years of clinical experience, and I am the Chief of the Division of Pathology Informatics at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. I have 93 publications and my h index is currently 39 (Google Scholar). Childrens Hospital Of Philadelphia
