| Dr. Friez is board certified by
the American Board of Medical Genetics. Following his graduate training,
he came to Greenwood to pursue fellowship training in the field of Medical
Genetics. After completing his fellowship training and gaining valuable
experience in the field, Dr. Friez assumed the position as Director of the
Molecular Diagnostic Laboratory. His primary duties as Director are to
supervise the diverse genetic testing activities the laboratory has
developed since its inception. Diagnostic protocols for testing a variety
of conditions related to mental retardation, muscular dystrophies,
skeletal dysplasias and other adult-onset genetic conditions are utilized
on a daily basis.
In addition, Dr. Friez is involved in assisting several
of the research projects that are based in the JC Self Research Institute.
While keeping his focus on the diagnostic arena Dr. Friez also feels very
strongly about maintaining a close link with his research-based colleagues
at GGC. In regard to this link, Dr. Friez says, “GGC is a perfect example
of why scientific research and diagnostic testing will forever be united,
one without the other is not a complete story.”
