Christa Martin is a board‑certified Clinical Genetics Laboratory Director and researcher focused on the rapid translation of genomic technologies and research discoveries into clinical care. Her research includes identifying and characterizing genomic variants associated with neurodevelopmental and neuropsychiatric disorders such as autism, intellectual disability, epilepsy, and schizophrenia. Her work aims to determine variant frequency, elucidate disease mechanisms, discover novel disease‑associated genes, and correlate genotype with phenotype through broad data sharing, with the ultimate goal of improving patient outcomes. A second major focus of her research is advancing the integration, interpretation, and clinical utility of genomics in healthcare, prioritizing precision health initiatives that embed genomic information into routine clinical practice.
