Description
Ever wondered about the role of genetics in your child’s rheumatic disease? Have questions you’ve been wanting to ask an expert in the field? Interested in meeting other families, including those navigating more rare rheumatic conditions, like Behcet’s, DADA2, Fever Syndromes, JDM and more?
Join us February 28th (Rare Disease Day!) for an informative presentation and Q+A with Dr. Ashish Marwaha, a Clinic Medical Geneticist at Alberta Children’s Hospital with a special interest in pediatric rheumatology. After his overview, you’ll have the chance to participate in disease-specific breakout rooms where you can meet and learn from other families and youth. Have a specific question for Dr. Marwaha? You can let us know during registration!
Dr. Marwaha is an early career clinician-scientist and clinical medical geneticist focusing on complex immune dysregulation disorders. He has used a collaborative approach to build an integrated research care pathway that aims to diagnose the cause of rare diseases and lead to improved targeted treatment. His research expertise includes whole genome sequencing, RNA sequencing, polygenic risk score analysis, epigenomics and machine learning integration of multi-omic data. He ultimately wants to use his extensive clinical trial experience to implement precision therapy for this patient population.
