MMI’s adds new biochemical genetics department

In genetics, UNMC’s Munroe-Meyer Institute has focused on clinical genetics, molecular genetics and cytogenetics. Now a fourth genetic specialty program is being added: biochemical genetics.

This new MMI department is headed by William Rizzo, M.D., a pediatrician from the Medical College of Virginia, where he researched inherited metabolic diseases for almost 20 years.
