Biosketch:

Brian J. Shayota, MD, MPH is an Assistant Professor of Pediatrics and Medical Genetics at the University of Utah. He received his undergraduate education at the University of California, San Diego and medical degree at St. George’s University School of Medicine. He then went on to complete residency in Pediatrics and Medical Genetics, followed by fellowship training in Medical Biochemical Genetics.

Dr. Shayota’s career has focused on diagnosing and treating rare inborn errors of metabolism and describing new/rare genetic disorders. His research has centered around expanding the phenotype of metabolic disorders with the use of metabolomic profiling and identifying new treatment strategies for rare disorders. Dr. Shayota has a keen interest in Public Health matters as well and works closely with the Utah state Newborn Screening program.

Dr. Shayota has served in various leadership positions for the American College of Medical Genetics (ACMG), Society for Inherited Metabolic Disorders (SIMD), and the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) and regularly presents his research achievements at national meetings.
