Professional History

Dr. Michael Duyzend is an attending physician in the Division of Genetics and Genomics, with a special interest in prenatal and neonatal genetics. His research focuses on understanding genetics across the developmental continuum, from conception through infancy, and the development of methods to track and analyze genetic and clinical data longitudinally through this period. Dr. Duyzend strives to utilize genomic medicine in an expeditious, effective, just, reasoned, and sound manner.

Approach to Care
I am motivated by the potential of genomic medicine and driven by the success and challenges of unlocking the utility of genomics for all in an expeditious, effective, just, reasoned, and sound manner.
