Biography

Oana Caluseriu is an associate professor in the Department of Medical Genetics at the University of Alberta. Her research focuses on clinical genetics, particularly rare disorders that primarily affect prenatal and pediatric patients. She works on characterizing human phenotypes as a foundational step in exploring the molecular basis underlying genetic disorders. Identifying the causes of genetic conditions is essential for building personalized management plans for patients and their families through genetic testing and counseling. Caluseriu is a leader in a precision medicine initiative through the Translational Genomics Hub at the Women & Children's Health Research Institute. This resource facilitates the interpretation of next-generation sequencing (NGS) data and supports functional studies related to genetic variants. By bridging the gap between clinical practice and basic research, she is directly involved in elucidating the genetic and functional bases of human variation and their relevance to clinical practice.
