Dr. Atwal is a board-certified clinical and medical biochemical geneticist. He previously served as the Medical Director for the Center for Individualized Medicine Clinic and Clinical Lead for the Department of Clinical Genomics at Mayo Clinic's Jacksonville campus. He is a distinguished fellow of both the American College of Medical Genetics & Genomics and the Royal Colleges of Physicians of the United Kingdom.
Dr. Atwal’s clinical focus encompasses clinical genomics, undiagnosed diseases after prolonged diagnostic odysseys, and inborn errors of metabolism, including mitochondrial disorders. Notably, he has contributed to the discovery of two novel genetic connective tissue syndromes resulting from defects in the FLNA and AEBP1 genes and developed an un-targeted metabolomic screening test for inborn errors of metabolism. He has published extensively on human genetics, with more than 100 publications to date and a number of book chapters.
