I was diagnosed with Vascular Ehlers Danlos after a life threatening aortic dissection. I was extremely fortunate that the emergency room physician considered a rare genetic condition to explain my acute chest, back and stomach pain. After a definitive CT scan, I underwent emergency surgery to repair my ascending aorta.  I now know my mutation is in Collagen 3A1 and my children and other family members have also been screened for this autosomal dominant genetic disease. Now I bring my biopharmaceutical expertise and personal experience to research and develop novel therapies to this deadly genetic disease.
