Improving outcomes for individuals and families affected by genetic disease.

我的目标是减少遗传性疾病造成的疾病和死亡，特别是在未出生的儿童、新生儿和婴儿中。我将通过寻找我们尚不知道的遗传疾病的原因，研究遗传疾病的治疗方法以及开发更好的诊断遗传疾病的方法来实现这一目标。我还将研究在隐性疾病影响儿童之前发现隐性疾病携带者的方法，使他们的孩子避免患上严重疾病。

I aim to reduce illness and death caused by inherited diseases, particularly in unborn children, newborns and infants. I will do this by finding causes of inherited diseases we don’t yet know, investigating treatments for inherited diseases and developing better methods of diagnosing inherited diseases. I will also investigate methods of finding carriers of recessive diseases before they have affected children, so that they can avoid having children affected with severe diseases.
