During the weekend of October 16-17, 2026, Clinical Research Coordinator Lia Margolin (Webb Lab) attended the 15th Conference of Undiagnosed Diseases Network International (UDNI) in Siena, Italy.

During the annual two-day gathering, the conference brought together clinicians, researchers, genetic counselors and rare disease experts from around the world to share advances in diagnosing rare and undiagnosed conditions. Conference sessions and panels covered a wide variety of engaging and innovative topics, including genetic counseling and genomic reanalysis, international data sharing, functional studies, newborn screening and building undiagnosed disease programs in emerging regions.

Margolin also engaged with experts across the field through the presentation of her research poster, “A solved case of Imagawa-Matsumoto syndrome with a de novo intragenic SUZ12 variant and novel findings,” completed in collaboration with Drs. Bryn Webb and Kim Keppler-Noreuil.

Congratulations, Lia!
