Marwan Shinawi, M.D.

Assistant Professor of Pediatrics

Genetics and Genomic Medicine

Dr. Shinawi has been an assistant professor at the department of molecular and human genetics at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston since 2005. He is Board certified in Clinical Genetics and Medical Biochemical Genetics. With his clinical and laboratory research experiences, he has been primary author on many publications. His special interests over the past few years were in autism spectrum disorders, cytogenetic abnormalities, microarray technology, and metabolic conditions. He joined the division of genetics and genomic medicine at St. Louis Children’s Hospital in September 2009. In addition to his efforts in expanding his previous research interests and his involvement in clinical work, Dr. Shinawi is establishing the skeletal dysplasia multidisciplinary clinic to serve the needs of children with skeletal abnormalities.
