KidsGenomics was established in February 2018 by Dan Koboldt, a genetics researcher at The Institute for Genomic Medicine at Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus, Ohio. His research aims to discover new genes and mutations underlying pediatric disease using massively parallel sequencing and other state-of-the-art genomics technologies.
During his 13-year tenure at Washington University in St. Louis, Dan maintained the MassGenomics blog, which discussed next-gen sequencing, genetics, and genomics in the post-genome era. KidsGenomics will instead focus on genetic diseases that affect children, including rare inherited disorders and pediatric cancers.
