Isabelle Schrauwen

Isabelle Schrauwen, PhD, is an Associate Professor in the Department of Translational Neurosciences at the University of Arizona. A human geneticist, she investigates pathogenic mechanisms of nervous system, developmental, and sensory disorders using family-based and population-based genetic methods. Her work focuses on pediatric sensorineural and neurodevelopmental conditions, aiming to identify causative variants and novel pathways through multi-omics approaches.

• PhD in Biomedical Sciences from University of Antwerp
• Postdoctoral training at University of Antwerp and TGen, Phoenix
• Former Assistant Professor at Columbia University

Dr. Schrauwen integrates genomics, transcriptomics, and epigenomics to advance precision medicine strategies for rare genetic disorders. Her research bridges neuroscience and genetics, targeting diagnostic uncertainties and misdirected treatments in pediatric patients.
