      Bennett Lab

      The Bennett Lab at Seattle Children's Research Institute investigates the contribution of post-zygotic mutations on human development and birth defects, with a focus on vascular malformations. The team also studies the impact of rapid diagnostic genomic sequencing in management of children in intensive care units.
