    Dr. Smail is a faculty member and group leader within the Genomic Medicine Center and the Department of Pediatrics at Children’s Mercy Hospital, Kansas City, MO and an Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Missouri - Kansas City School of Medicine, Kansas City, MO with a secondary appointment at University of Kansas School of Medicine, Kansas City, KS. His main research focus is in understanding how rare human genetic variation affects disease risk. In pursuit of this goal, his laboratory focuses on novel computational and statistical approaches to rare variant interpretation using large-scale functional genomics data from somatic and developmental cell types.
