Dr. Ethylin Wang Jabs is a distinguished Professor and Chair of the Department of Clinical Genomics at Mayo Clinic, with dual appointments as Adjunct Professor of Genetic Medicine and Professor of Pediatrics at Johns Hopkins University. Board certified in clinical genetics, cytogenetics, molecular genetics and genomics, and pediatrics, she has established herself as a leading expert in craniofacial disorders and dysmorphology of rare genetic conditions. Dr. Jabs' research focuses on identifying the genetic causes of craniofacial syndromes, particularly those involving homeobox genes, helix-loop-helix transcription factors, fibroblast growth factor receptors, and connexins. Her laboratory employs advanced genomic technologies combined with functional studies in animal models, organoids, and induced pluripotent stem cell systems to elucidate disease mechanisms and genotype-phenotype correlations. Her work bridges basic science discoveries with clinical applications to improve diagnosis and treatment of craniofacial anomalies. Among her notable recognitions are the 2025 Moebius Syndrome Foundation Lifetime Achievement Award and election to the Johns Hopkins Society of Scholars in 2014. She maintains active leadership roles in professional organizations including serving as Co-Chair of the ClinGen Craniofacial Malformations Gene Curation Expert Panel and as a member of the Cellular, Molecular, and Bispecific Therapies Steering Committee. Dr. Jabs has received continuous research funding throughout her career and has mentored numerous students and fellows in the field of medical genetics. She serves on advisory boards for several foundations including Smile Train, Moebius Syndrome Foundation, and Born a Hero Research Foundation, demonstrating her commitment to translating research into improved patient care for individuals with craniofacial differences. Her extensive publication record, including numerous high-impact papers in leading scientific journals, reflects her ongoing contributions to understanding the genetic basis of craniofacial development and disorders. Dr. Jabs continues to be at the forefront of applying genomic medicine to the diagnosis and management of complex craniofacial conditions.
