Dr. José Mario Capo Chichi

Biography

José-Mario Capo-Chichi is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathobiology at the University of Toronto. He holds a PhD with a concentration in Biochemistry and Human Genomics from l’Université de Montréal, where his thesis focused on using Next-Generation Sequencing technologies to unravel the genetic bases of non-syndromic forms of intellectual disability. Dr. Capo-Chichi completed a Clinical Molecular Genetics fellowship at le CHU Sainte-Justine de Montréal, and is certified in Personalized Genomics and Genome Diagnostics from Radboud University Medical Center in the Netherlands. He has been a member of the University Health Network since September 2016, where he serves as a clinical molecular geneticist in the Genome Diagnostics division. His research concentrates on improving traditional molecular genetics approaches and developing novel diagnostic tests, especially in cancer genetics, utilizing high-throughput technologies. He is actively engaged in translational research, addressing the complexities involved in molecular pathology, including genomic alterations in oncology and the development of effective diagnostic testing methodologies. Dr. Capo-Chichi’s work focuses on genomic and epigenetic factors associated with malignancies, using advanced genomic technologies to facilitate faster diagnosis and enhance patient management.
