Ear Community Founder, Melissa Tumblin (and her children Hailey and Ally) along with Samantha Sclafani (and her children Wyatt and Tatum) had the opportunity to meet with Drs. Jon and Christine Seidman of Seidman Labs at Harvard Medical School when hosting the Boston Ear Community Microtia and Atresia picnic. We also had the opportunity to meet with Barbara McDonough and Angela Tai, who are two of the very researchers working on our samples in the lab in regards to our whole genome sequencing research grant the organization is on.
We presented Dr. Jonathan Seidman with an award from the Ear Community Organization thanking him for all of his work on researching Microtia and Atresia over the past couple of decades. Both, Drs. Jon and Christine Seidman are known for their work on Microtia and Aural Atresia and in heart and lung cancer. Thank you for your passion, your kindness and your dedication to helping families with Microtia and Atresia find answers.
