Dr. Wendy Chung is the Kennedy Family Professor of Pediatrics in Medicine at Columbia University Irving Medical Center and a leader in genomic and precision medicine. She discusses what it means to be a “zebra hunter” in medicine and how it’s led her to discover dozens of rare genetic diseases, the impact that earlier diagnosis and gene therapy have had on devastating childhood diseases such as spinal muscular atrophy, and the role genes play in obesity, autism, autonomic disorders, and more.
