A Short Biography:

Dr. Dickson is a pediatrician and medical biochemical geneticist, with active board certifications in both specialties. She received her bachelor's degree in Classics from the University of Chicago, and her medical degree from Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York. Her main research focus is intra-cerebrospinal fluid (intraventricular and intrathecal) enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) for the mucopolysaccharidoses, with the goal of finding new and better treatments for patients. Her laboratory conducts bench-to-bedside research into treatments for MPS disorders. Dr. Dickson is the Chief of Medical Genetics at the Harbor-UCLA campus.
