We’re excited to spotlight this month’s Hero Highlight, Dr. Kuntal Sen!
Dr. Sen is the Director of the Mitochondrial Disorders Program and Co-Director of the Neurogenetics Clinic at Children’s National Hospital. With specialized training in both neurology and genetics, he brings unique expertise to diagnosing and caring for individuals with complex and ultra-rare neurological conditions.
He is deeply committed to providing long-term, compassionate, family-centered care for patients with mitochondrial and other rare disorders. In addition to his clinical work, Dr. Sen is dedicated to advancing research and improving how physicians are trained in genomic testing.
A pivotal moment for Dr. Sen was leading the neurology work group at the 2025 TANGO2 Innovation Summit in Houston. Bringing together specialists and families in one room created a powerful sense of urgency, collaboration, and hope for the future of this field.
