Dr. Liesbeth Vossaert serves as an Associate Clinical Director of WGS/WES at Baylor Genetics. In addition to her role at BG, she is also an Assistant Professor at Baylor College of Medicine (BCM)
Dr. Vossaert received her bachelor’s and master’s degree in pharmaceutical sciences at Ghent University, Belgium. After earning a PhD in pharmaceutical biotechnology, studying epigenetic signatures in an embryonic stem cell model, Dr.Vossaert moved to the US and joined the laboratory of Dr. Beaudet at BCM as a postdoctoral researcher. Her postdoc project focused on non-invasive prenatal testing based on fetal cells circulating in the maternal blood stream. The next step in Dr. Vossaert’s career was completing the two-year fellowship in Laboratory Genetics & Genomics at BCM, from which she graduated in June 2021.
After successful conclusion of the LGG fellowship, she obtained her ABMGG LGG board certification and is currently mainly focusing on exome analysis and sign-out in her director role, in addition to carrier screening, Sanger testing and chromosomal microarray sign-out.
