Dr Lisa Ewans

Dr Lisa Ewans is a Clinician Researcher who focuses on increasing diagnosis through genomics and novel methods and translating these to the clinic to improve patient outcomes. Her current research is in building pathways for undiagnosed individuals with suspected rare genetic conditions to access research genomics for diagnosis and evaluating the utility of genetic and genomic testing from a clinician and patient perspective.

Dr Ewans is a Clinical Geneticist at Sydney Children’s Hospitals Network where she co-manages a rare disease registry and co-leads the national Kleefstra syndrome clinic. Her PhD through UNSW and the Garvan improved diagnosis by 60% in individuals with undiagnosed rare genetic conditions through exome and genome sequencing.
