How an MD-PhD Student With Hemophilia Made a Genetic Research Breakthrough

Popp, 34, is now a graduate of the University of Washington School of Medicine’s MD-PhD degree program and a pathology resident at Mass General Brigham in Boston. While at UW, he helped develop a new technology with Doug Fowler, PhD, a researcher in the UW School of Medicine’s Department of Genome Sciences, and Jill Johnsen, MD, a researcher in the Division of Hematology and Oncology and a hematologist at UW Medicine, to decode one of the genes that causes hemophilia and find all the possible variants in it.
