Patients with rare diseases are the focus of my life. Starting with MAGIC Clinic in Calgary I created a space where we focus on the care of patients and families through evidence-based clinical therapies and research trials. I later founded Discovery DNA with my partners to provide rapid exome, genome and mitochondrial DNA sequencing. Maternal Genomics was started to give patients in Alberta access to the highest grade non-invasive prenatal screening test. The Rare Disease Network of Alberta (RDNA) was created to be a place where families connected with all types of rare diseases can look for common ground and share ideas and knowledge. Through all of these organizations, and with the fantastic team of dedicated professionals, our goal is to improve lives and improve outcomes.
