Dr. Avinash V. Dharmadhikari is board certified in Laboratory Genetics and Genomics (LGG) by the American Board of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ABMGG) and serves as Assistant Director in the Center for Personalized Medicine at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. He specializes in the interpretation of complex molecular and cytogenomic data. His research focuses on identifying clinically relevant structural and molecular variants underlying genetically heterogeneous neurodevelopmental disorders and on advancing the use of next-generation sequencing technologies to detect genetic causes of disorders of somatic mosaicism.

Dr. Dharmadhikari is a member of the ClinGen Intellectual Disability/Autism Spectrum Disorder and Prenatal Gene Curation Expert Panels (GCEPs), and the American Society of Human Genetics (ASHG) Digital Learning Committee. He serves on the editorial boards of the Journal of Molecular Diagnostics and BMC Medical Genomics. He co-chairs the ACMG/Cancer Genomics Consortium (CGC) working group on vascular anomalies and somatic overgrowth, the ClinGen GCEP on somatic mosaicism of vascular anomalies, and the CGC Early Career Initiative Committee.
