Join us in a talk with Rozalia Valentine, MS, CGC. Rozalia joined the Boston Children’s Hospital Epilepsy Genetics Program in July 2021. As an expert in pediatric neurogenetics, Rozalia works with the families of children with neurological disorders to help find genetic etiologies.

Rozalia will present about the genetics of DYNC1H1 variants, then take questions from the audience. She has requested that attendees send questions in advance if possible, so please include questions in the registration form below. If you have questions but cannot make it, the meeting with be recorded and posted after the event.

Rozalia received her BA in psychology from the University of California, Berkeley, in 2015 and her MS in genetic counseling from the University of North Carolina, Greensboro, in 2021. While earning her degree, she provided genetic counseling services to families of children with Angelman syndrome at the Center for Individuals with Developmental Disabilities. She credits her background in research in frontal lobe inhibition in ADHD with sparking her interest in neurogenetics.

In addition to her clinical work, Rosie volunteers in variant curation and looks forward to future research opportunities.
