The Diaz laboratory studies the molecular basis of inherited human diseases, particularly single-gene disorders. Methodologies applied within the laboratory include linkage analysis, positional cloning, development of animal models and elucidation of disease pathophysiology through biochemical and cell biological studies. By understanding the underlying pathobiology of these disorders, fundamental insights can be gained into more broadly relevant biological or clinical questions.
The Patient Experience Star Rating reflects our patients’ perception of how well their Mount Sinai provider communicated with them during an office visit. The Star Rating is based on patient responses to three questions on a patient experience survey, a standardized questionnaire sent to verified patients and distributed by a third party vendor, Press Ganey. Responses are measured on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the best score.
