Felix Richter - Pediatrics | Mount Sinai

About Me

Felix Richter, MD, PhD is a Neonatal Hospitalist in the Division of Newborn Medicine in the Department of Pediatrics and a member of the Mindich Child Health and Development Institute at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and Mount Sinai West. He graduated with a BA in Integrated Science, Biological Sciences, and Chemistry from Northwestern University in 2013. He completed his MD, PhD, and pediatrics residency training at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. During his graduate training, he developed software and statistical learning approaches to integrate whole-genome sequencing, epigenomic, and RNAseq datasets. He leveraged these tools to discover a role for noncoding de novo variants in congenital heart disease (CHD). He also described the contribution of inherited, mosaic, and large structural variants to CHD. During the height of the pandemic, he developed scalable clinical phenotyping methods and used these approaches to describe COVID-19 clinical trajectories. This was featured in the New York Times. His clinical and research expertise includes pediatrics, genetics, bioinformatics, and statistical learning, and he is a long-standing editor on Wikipedia.
