Biography
Dr. Sobreira received her medical degree from the Pernambuco University School of Medicine in 2003. She completed a clinical genetics residency in Sao Paulo Brazil (UNIFESP) before joining the Human Genetics graduate program at Johns Hopkins (2007 to 2012). This was followed by a one-year postdoc and a two-year clinical genetics fellowship also at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. Dr. Sobreira was recruited to the Genetic Medicine faculty in 2015. She has been instrumental in the development of public genetic data bases and genetic analytical tools that are highly valuable, widely used, promote disease gene identification and facilitate collaborations. She developed the PhenoDB analysis module that is in use around the world. Dr. Sobreira is one of the creators of GeneMatcher, the most widely used data sharing platform of rare Mendelian diseases. In addition, she has championed the sharing of gene variant information in genomic databases by developing VariantMatcher.
