Meet the UDN Helpdesk Team

What we do

The UDN Helpdesk Team is made up of a group of research assistants led by UDN Project Manager, Paul Mazur, located at the UDN Data Management Coordinating Center (UDN DMCC) at Harvard Medical School. They work with undiagnosed individuals and their families to help navigate the UDN case submission, evaluation, and research process. The research assistants are all current genetic counselors in training that are highly knowledgeable about rare diseases and passionate about serving this community.
