Dna Today: A Genetics Podcast

Can rapid whole genome sequencing (WGS) be utilized in the NICU setting? We explore in this podcast episode! Joining us for this episode is Dr. Hong Li, a clinical geneticist at Emory University. Our other expert is a recurring guest, world-renowned geneticist Dr. Madhuri Hegde. She serves as the Senior Vice President and Chief Scientific Officer of Global Lab Services at PerkinElmer Genomics, a global leader in genetic and genomic testing focused on rare diseases, inherited disorders, newborn screening, and hereditary cancer.If you want to hear her on other episodes of DNA Today tune into Episode 177 where we nerded out about the power of whole genome sequencing (which is a great precursor to this conversation) and Episode 202 about Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.In addition to her role at PerkinElmer, Dr. Hegde is also a board certified diplomate in clinical molecular genetics by the American Board of Medical Genetics, and an ACMG Fellow. Previously, she was the Executive Director of Emory Genetics Labora
