Kuntal Sen, M.D., is the Co-Director of Neurogenetics Clinic at Children's National Hospital and an Assistant Professor of genomics, pediatrics and neurology at George Washington University. He is a graduate of Grant Government Medical College, Mumbai. He completed a combined pediatrics-medical genetics and genomics residency at the Detroit Medical Center/Wayne State University School of Medicine. He then completed a child neurology fellowship at Children's National. He also worked at the National Institutes of Health as a volunteer for the Undiagnosed Diseases Program. He is one of the few physicians in the country with dual training in neurology and clinical genetics which affords him a unique expertise to diagnose and manage patients with complex monogenic neurological disorders.


Dr. Sen's research focus is on multi-modal neuroimaging and neuromonitoring in inborn errors of metabolism. Dr. Sen has published several peer-reviewed articles and presented at many international conferences on newborn screening disorders, rare neurometabolic epilepsies and ethics in genetic testing. His accomplishments also include conducting a national survey identifying innovative ways to educate pediatric neurologists regarding genomics and rare diseases. He directed and led the efforts to launch a national curriculum in genomics for pediatric neurologists through Child Neurology Society (CNS). He is a fellow of the American College of Medical Genetics (ACMG) and has served on the ACMG Therapeutics Committee. He also serves as the USA Editor for the Journal of Pediatric Genetics and Media Editor for Pediatric Neurology. During his medical training, he has won awards and grants from professional societies including the prestigious ACMG Foundation/Perkin Elmer Award.
