Assistant Professor (Tenure-Track) and Principal Investigator of the Turner Laboratory at Washington University in St. Louis School of Medicine. The research in my laboratory focuses on Precision Genomics. Inspired by the term Precision Medicine, we defined Precision Genomics as “determining all possible relevant variation within an individual to the precise nucleotide.” Precision Genomics is not equivalent to Precision Medicine but is a key aspect under the umbrella of Precision Medicine similar to other areas (e.g., Precision Psychiatry, Precision Imaging, etc.). As a research lab, we excel to achieve the goals of Precision Genomics by addressing five main areas that present as current limitations to Precision Genomics in everyone:* interpretation of noncoding variation* variants missed due to genomic technology* speed of the current “genomic workflow”* combination of multi-hit rare and/or common variants* gene x environmentCurrently, the main focus of our lab is to pursue each of these in neurodevelopmental disorders.
