Biography

Dr. Pomianowski comes from Christiana Care Hospital where he was a Director of Medical Genetics and Genomics with an academic appointment at Thomas Jefferson School of Medicine.
At Christiana Care Hospital, Dr. Pomianowski built and developed cardiovascular genetics clinics, neurogenetics clinics, adult genetics clinics and supervised neonatal genetics and cancer genetics. While at ChristianaCare, Dr. Pomianowski built the only comprehensive Ehlers-Danlos clinic in Tri-state area where he identified and managed substantial sub-population of vEDS patients. He also, along with heart failure team, developed a multidisciplinary amyloidosis clinic.
Prior to arriving at Delaware, Dr. Pomianowski trained and worked at Yale School of Medicine where he was able to develop multidisciplinary aortopathy clinic which utilized exome sequencing for genome interrogation.
He also started second Clinical Genetics Clinic on the East Coast for veterans at West Haven VA (WHVA) in CT and served as a site champion for PHASER program at WHVA (Pharmacogenomic Action for Cancer Survivorship).
Dr. Pomianowski, is a member of the American Board of Medical Genetics and Genomics, European Society of Human Genetics as well as American Board of Internal Medicine. His academic interests are adult genetics. He has a number of scientific publications/presentations to his credit.
He and his team of genetic counselors offer a comprehensive cardiovascular, neurological and adult genetic assessment. They perform pre- and post-testing counseling which includes screening and management recommendations based on family history and/or genetic test results. They aim to assist with genetic diagnoses and instruct patients on the genetic impact to their personal and family health.
This team is interested in development of genetic services which can offer patient specific testing and management as per guidelines associated with each genetic etiology.
