Alisa Mo | Professional History

Dr. Mo is a board-certified Child Neurologist with special expertise in autism spectrum disorder and neurogenetic diseases. In her clinical practice, Dr. Mo evaluates patients for autism and other neurodevelopmental disorders in the Autism Spectrum Center and in the Neurogenetics clinic. As a physician-scientist at Harvard Medical School/Boston Children's Hospital, Dr. Mo uses high-throughput sequencing, computational analysis, and functional modeling of genomic variation to study the genetics of autism. Dr. Mo is also a patient advocate for families with rare diseases.
