This week we want to thank Dr Wendy Chung, MD, PhD, with Columbia University and DHREAMS for Bringing Hope Around the World to our CDH Families. She is a superhero in our CDH community and to many other rare disease communities and organizations. She’s a genetics genius, a pediatric surgeon, has helped to establish countless Standards of Care, is revered in many communities, is one of our Medical Advisory Board Members at CDH International, and has always gone above and beyond to help our CDH kids.
On November 1st, Columbia Children’s Health posted to Facebook that pediatric geneticist, Dr. Wendy Chung, received the New York Academy of Medicine Medal for Distinguished Contributions in Biomedical Science for her global leadership in the diagnosis and treatment of rare diseases. Through her work, she has identified more than 41 new genes for human diseases. Congratulations Dr. Chung!
