Dr. Repnikova received Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Nuclear Physics from Saint Petersburg State Polytechnical University in Russia and Ph.D. in Genetics from Texas A&M under the mentorship of Dr. Vlad Panin. She then completed Post-Doctoral ABMG fellowship trainings in Clinical Cytogenetics and Molecular Genetics at Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus, Ohio and is certified by the American Board of Medical Genetics and Genomics in the specialties of Cytogenetics and Molecular Genetics.

Dr. Repnikova’s expertise includes interpretation of clinical laboratory genetics test results from constitutional and oncology chromosome analysis, FISH, microarray analysis, and from a variety of the molecular based assays including whole exome next-generation sequencing. She is actively involved in teaching pathology residents and laboratory genetics and genomics fellows as well as conducting research to improve understanding of genetic anomalies in hereditary

genetic disorders and cancer.

Don’t miss her!
