Biography and Research Information
OverviewAI-generated summary
Carissa Rodriquez, Assistant Professor in Pediatric Hospital Medicine at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, investigates rare metabolic disorders in infants. Her recent publications focus on profound hypotonia, a condition characterized by decreased muscle tone, in newborns diagnosed with δ-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase deficient porphyria (ALAD deficiency). This rare genetic disorder arises from mutations in the ALAD gene, affecting heme synthesis. Rodriquez's work contributes to understanding the clinical presentation and genetic basis of ALAD deficiency, aiming to improve diagnosis and management for affected infants. She collaborates with researchers at her institution, including T. Burrow and Ankita Shukla, and has a recent publication in 2025, indicating ongoing activity in her research area.
