Seymour Packman, MD

Seymour Packman is a Professor of Pediatrics and the Director of the Biochemical Genetics Service at the University of California San Francisco. Dr. Packman also directs the UCSF-Stanford Lysosomal Disease Center and the UCSF Neurometabolic Program and Clinic.

He is a graduate of Columbia College and the Washington University School of Medicine. He did his pediatrics residency at St. Louis Children's Hospital and received his medical genetics training at Yale University.

He is recognized for his research in the molecular genetics and disease mechanisms of inherited disorders of copper transport, as well as for his work in the biochemistry and biology of inborn errors of biotin metabolism.

His clinical investigations have included contributions to our understanding of a wide range of genetic disorders, including phenylketonuria (PKU), galactosemia, organic acidemias, and the congenital lactic acidoses.

He is a Founding Fellow of the American College of Medical Genetics, and he has been elected to memberships in the Society for Pediatric Research and the American Pediatric Society. Dr Packman is a recipient of a Special Recognition Award from the March of Dimes Birth Defects Foundation, for his work in inborn errors of metabolism.

Gregory Enns, MB, ChB

Greg Enns is an Assistant Professor of Pediatrics and the Director of the Biochemical Genetics Program at Stanford University. Dr. Enns also co-directs the UCSF-Stanford Lysosomal Disease Center.

He is a graduate of Pomona College, the University of St. Andrews, Scotland, and the University of Glasgow, Scotland. He trained in pediatrics at the Children's Hospital of Los Angeles and received his medical and biochemical genetics training at the University of California San Francisco.

His research interests include Mitochondrial disease, gene therapy for inborn errors of metabolism and the development of novel methods for diagnosing patients with metabolic disease.

Clinical investigations include the use of tandem-mass spectrometry (MS/MS) for newborn screening of inborn errors of metabolism, as well as studies on a wide range of biochemical disorders.

Cindy Morgan, MS, CGC

Cindy Morgan is a Genetic Counselor and Clinical Trial Coordinator at the Stanford-UCSF Lysosomal Disease Center.

She earned her undergraduate degree in Zoology at the University of Washington in Seattle and her Masters degree in Health and Medical Sciences at the University of California Berkeley. She is certified by the American Board of Genetic Counseling and has been a practicing genetic counselor since 1999.

Cindy currently manages the Hurler syndrome clinical trial and the metabolic clinic.

Vicki Sweet, RN, MS, NP

Vicki works with Dr. Gregory Enns to coordinate the Stanford campus of the Lysosomal Disease Center.

She received her Master of Science in Nursing degree from the UCSF School of Nursing and is a nurse practitioner with a specialty in pediatrics. Vicki has worked at Stanford for 6 years. She initially worked in the Pediatric Neurology department, where she cared for children with developmental disabilities and chronic conditions, including genetic and metabolic disorders.

In 2002, Vicki began working in Stanford's Division of Medical Genetics. She sees patients, particularly those with lysosomal disease, in Stanford's Metabolic Clinic. She and Dr. Enns have also started a Neurogenetics Clinic.
