Monica Wojcik is an Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at Harvard Medical School and a dual-boarded neonatologist and clinical geneticist at Boston Children's Hospital. She directs the Neonatal Genomics Program and serves as Medical Director of the Manton Center for Orphan Disease Research.

• Education: Princeton University (BA), Harvard Medical School (MD), Boston Combined Residency Program (Pediatrics), HMS Genetics Training Program
• Certifications: American Board of Medical Genetics and Genomics (Clinical Genetics), American Board of Pediatrics (General and Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine)

Her research focuses on genomic medicine applications in perinatal care, particularly genetic diagnosis in neonates and equity in rare disease research. She leads initiatives like the International Precision Child Health Partnership (IPCHiP) and the VIGOR study for genomic implementation in safety-net NICUs.

Key publication trends include genomic sequencing for neonatal hypotonia, equity in genetic testing access, and discovery of novel neurodevelopmental syndromes via exome/genome analysis. Her work spans congenital anomalies, mendelian conditions, and postmortem genetic testing.
