Biosketch:

Dr. Scott earned his MD/PhD at the University of Iowa and completed his pediatric residency at the University of Utah/Primary Children's Medical Center and a fellowship in Clinical Genetics at Baylor College of Medicine, where he is now on faculty.

His laboratory is working to identify and characterize the genes that cause common birth defects, including congenital diaphragmatic hernia and esophageal atresia/trancheoesophageal fistula.
