Tyler M Pierson, MD, PhD

About

Dr Pierson's clinical and research focus is the study of rare neurogenetic disorders with an emphasis on the diagnosis of these disorders in patients of the Pediatric Neurogenetics Clinic. His laboratory research focuses on generating cellular and animal models of these rare disorders with the hope of providing insight into nervous system as a whole and more common CNS disorders. Biomedical research often focuses on common disorders that affect a significant portion of the population (e.g., diabetes, cancer, heart disease). This approach prudently allocates limited research funds toward disorders that have the most widespread effect on collective medical needs.
