Taylor Dawson

Taylor Dawson is an academic instructor in the Department of Pediatrics at Baylor College of Medicine. Their primary research focuses on pediatric cardiovascular genetics, with particular expertise in hereditary aortic disorders, genetic syndromes affecting the cardiovascular system, and clinical applications of genetic testing in pediatric cardiology. Dawson collaborates extensively with researchers through networks like the Collaborative for Longitudinal Aortic Research in the Young (CLARITY).

Research interests include:

• Genetic basis of pediatric cardiovascular conditions
• Clinical management of hereditary thoracic aortic diseases
• Diagnostic approaches for genetic arrhythmia syndromes
• Long-term outcomes of connective tissue disorders

Publications demonstrate strong focus on cardiovascular genetics, with recent work (2022-2025) concentrating on arterial tortuosity syndromes, vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, and 22q11.2 deletion syndrome. Earlier research (2016-2021) explored molecular biomarkers in bodily fluids and hepatic pathology.

Collaborative networks include co-authors from multiple institutions working on cardiovascular genetics research. Dawson participates in national consortia studying aortic diseases and contributes to multidisciplinary teams investigating genetic cardiovascular disorders.
