He initially joined SickKids in 2012 as chief of the Division of Clinical and Metabolic Genetics, co-director of the Centre for Genetic Medicine, and senior scientist at the SickKids Research Institute. He became chief of Paediatrics at SickKids in 2016, as well as the chair of Paediatrics at the University of Toronto, where he was also part of the Department of Molecular Genetics. Dr. Cohn was the first combined resident in paediatrics and genetics at the Johns Hopkins University, later becoming the director of the world\u2019s first multidisciplinary centre for hypotonia at that university\u2019s McKusick-Nathans Institute of Genetic Medicine. His research focuses on implementing genome-editing technologies for the treatment of neurogenetic disorders, and he has developed an interest in applying a concept of \u201cprecision child health\u201d to the care of children \u2013 something he has worked to implement at SickKids through the use of cutting-edge technology (such as artificial intelligence, genomics, advanced imaging and innovative procedures). Some of Dr. Cohn\u2019s awards include the David M. Kamsler Award for outstanding compassionate and expert care of paediatric patients and the Harvard-Partners Center for Genetics and Genomics Award in Medical Genetics. &amp;nbsp; Links to additional resources: https:\/\/www.sickkids.ca https:\/\/lab.research.sickkids.ca\/cohn\/  https:\/\/www.sickkidsfoundation.com\/waystodonate  https:\/\/www.thestar.com\/news\/insight\/2015\/12\/22\/how-genome-editing-technique-known-as-crispr-is-giving-families-new-hope.html www.tiltco.ca https:\/\/www.ivey.uwo.ca\/academy\/ &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; ","author_name":"LeaderLab","author_url":"http:\/\/tiltco.ca\/","html":"<iframe title=\"Libsyn Player\" style=\"border: none\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/13507526\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/thumbnail\/yes\/direction\/forward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/88AA3C\/\" height=\"90\" width=\"600\" scrolling=\"no\"  allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/assets.libsyn.com\/secure\/content\/66950717"}
