Overview
“Majed Dasouki, MD, is a board-certified clinical and biochemical geneticist and cytogeneticist. Before becoming the Medical Director of Genomics and Personalized Health at AdventHealth for Children in 2020, he served as Director of Newborn Screening and led the biochemical genetics lab at the esteemed King Faisal Specialist Hospital & Research Center in Saudi Arabia. He has also served on the faculty and in various leadership roles at the University of Kansas, University of Missouri, Vanderbilt University, and elsewhere. His research interests include biochemical genetics and clinical cytogenetics, newborn screening and tandem mass spectrometry, novel therapies and clinical trials to address metabolic genetic disorders, gene mapping of single-gene disorders, and more. He has authored or co-authored 118 publications reflecting his diverse research findings in his field, most recently “Proteomics profiling to distinguish DOCK8 deficiency from atopic dermatitis”(Front. Allergy) and “Profiling of Cystic Renal Disease towards Biomarker Discovery” (Biology).
Dr. Dasouki’s medical training has included elite fellowships in pediatric genetics at the University of Michigan and in biochemical genetics at the University of Missouri.
