Dr. Ross is the Nathan Cummings Professor of Neurology and Neuroscience and Director of the Center for Neurognetics in the Brain and Mind Research Institute at Weill Cornell Medicine. She received her MD and PhD from Cornell University Medical College her Neurology residency at Massachusetts General Hospital and molecular genetic fellowships at MGH and Rockefeller University. She built her laboratory at University of Minnesota before returning to Weill Cornell Medicine as a tenured Professor.  She is a physician scientist who leads the Laboratory of Neurogenetics and Development. Common threads in her work have been discovery of gene mutations causing neurological disorders as a window on the drivers of brain development and function.  The Center for Neurogenetics at WCM that she directs has both basic science and clinical arms, and operates a patient DNA and cell biobank. Dr. Ross has devoted much of her career to medical and neuroscience education. While at the University of Minnesota, she directed the NIH funded MD-PhD training program. At Weill Cornell Medicine she is Chair of the Neuroscience Graduate Program and is the founding Chair of the Master of Science in Genetic Counseling program.

Dr. Rahman is Division Chief of Genetics in the Department of Pediatrics at Weill Cornell Medicine. He has practiced as an ABMGG-certified clinical geneticist for 17 years working with various genetic counselors in  pediatric, adult, prenatal, and cancer settings. He has served in various education roles including lecturer and facilitator for genetics to first-year medical students, nursing students, pharmacy students, pediatric residents, and fellows. He has taught genetic counseling students in a clinical setting for several years and in a classroom setting from 2019 to the present. He has previously served as the associate program director for pediatrics, as vice-chair of faculty development, and as division chief and department director for medical genetics in two institutions. He is also a faculty member of the ACGME-accredited medical genetics residency at UNMC. 

Dr. Latham is an academic clinical and translational investigator board-certified in both Family Medicine and Medical Genetics. She is the Medical Director for the MSK-CATCH program at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, a multi-site clinical and translational patient-centered cancer surveillance program for hereditary cancer syndromes. Her research is focused on leveraging genetic technology for the early detection of cancer through the design of novel liquid biopsy assays. She currently serves on the Executive Council for the Collaborative Group of the Americas for Inherited Gastrointestinal Cancers--a leading global authority in advancing the science and clinical management of hereditary gastrointestinal cancer syndromes .  Dr. Latham is also the Associate Program Director for the MSK-Cornell Medical Genetics Residency Program and has years of experience mentoring and supervising medical students, residents and genetic counselors.
