Biography of Jonathan Zonana
Jonathan Zonana graduated M.D. from University of Pennsylvania Medical School, Philadelphia, in 1972. He is (2001) Professor of Pediatrics, Professor & Vice Chair, Molecular & Medical Genetics, Oregon Health & Science University.
With his co-investigator, Betsy Ferguson, Jonathan Zonana has done extensive work in the mapping and cloning of genes critical to normal human development.
- "My interests in clinical genetics have focused on problems of disordered morphogenesis (dysmorphology). The etiology and pathophysiology of many malformations are beginning to be understood at a molecular level. Our specific area of research is on the ectodermal dysplasias, a group of genetic disorders involving abnormal development of hair, teeth and eccrine sweat glands."
