In addition to her genetics clinic, Dr. Chernoff also has experience in treating children with chronic conditions, including developmental disorders and neurodiversity, and she is exploring the genetic causes for these conditions.
As a physician-scientist, Dr. Chernoff has completed research in genetic bone disorders, and is interested in investigating osteogenesis imperfecta and skeletal dysplasias. Her expertise allows her to interpret abnormal genetic testing and provide genetic counseling to patients and their families.
Along with her commitment to her patients, Dr. Chernoff is active in training medical students and pediatric residents as they progress in their medical careers, and is hoping to expand this role as a clinical geneticist.
