By way of introduction, I have been a Professor at Weill-Cornell for t=e last 30 years, and am best known for having invented the Ligas= Chain Reaction (LCR) and the Universal Array. I hold 46 issued=US patents, a number of which have led to commercial tests to diagnose genetic diseases (i.e. cystic fibrosis, MLPA tests, =ANSR for NIPD of trisomy), and identify diseases using DNA microarray= and targeted Next-Gen sequencing. Earlier this year, I re=eived the IFCC Award for Significant Contributions in Molecular Diagn=stics. I have been collaborating with Dr. Linnie Golightly of our Center for =lobal Health/Infectious Disease Division for the past decade, wo=king together closely to develop multiplexed PCR-LDR assays for Categ=ry A EFTA_R1_01775796 EFTA02592731
