Biography

Dr. Frosk is a clinician scientist at the University of Manitoba in Canada, whose clinical practice includes a wide range of general and metabolic genetics with particular focus on neuromuscular and neurodegenerative diseases. Dr. Frosk’s research is directed at identification of novel disease genes and finding ways to better utilize next generation sequencing in clinical practice. In addition to research, Dr. Frosk is heavily involved in post-graduate medical education.
