Positions

Overview

  • Dr. Mikhail is the Co-Director of the Clinical Cytogenetics Lab in the Department of Genetics. The Cytogenetics Lab provides diagnostic services by performing chromosome analysis, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), and array comparative genomic hybridization (array CGH) on cells prepared from a wide variety of tissues including amniotic fluid, chorionic villi, products of conception, peripheral blood leukocytes, bone marrow, lymph node, and skin/muscle biopsy. His research interests include identification of novel constitutional genomic disorders caused by microdeletions and microduplications using array CGH methodologies with special interest in neurodevelopmental disorders, and characterization of the clinical phenotype, molecular breakpoints, as wells as the mechanism of rearrangement. Also, identification of novel cytogenetic rearrangements in patients with various hematological malignancies that might have a causal role in the oncogenic process using molecular cytogenetic techniques including FISH and array CGH, and identification of the underlying genes. Dr. Mikhail is the author of numerous articles and book chapters.
