About me
Dr. Starosta is a clinical and biochemical geneticist who sees pediatric and adult patients with a wide variety of genetic and metabolic conditions. He is particularly interested in seeing patients with lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs) and congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDGs), as well as any patient with an inherited disorder that requires complex and comprehensive medical care. His research focuses on discovering novel treatments for inherited metabolic disorders, especially LSDs and CDGs; and integrating evidence-based medicine into Medical Genetics, including exploring the role of novel genomic technologies such as whole genome sequencing and multi-omics in clinical practice.
