Brief Intro

Dr. Friedrich has an M.D. from Rutgers and a Ph.D. in Biochemical Genetics from the University of Texas. He completed an Internal Medicine residency at the University of Minneapolis before completing a fellowship in Medical Genetics with Victor McKusick at Johns Hopkins. His previous faculty appointments were in the medical schools at Johns Hopkins and the University of Pennsylvania. For the past decade Dr. Christopher Friedrich has been developing programs in Jackson, MS. As a fully qualified, board-certified geneticist, he works with adult and pediatric patients with one goal in mind: using their bodys most basic building blocks to provide information which may help them and may help save the lives of their family. If family members know they are at risk for cancer, they know to get earlier and regular screenings. To Dr. Friedrich, earlier screenings lead to earlier detection and more lives saved. I want to raise public awareness about colorectal, breast and ovarian cancers, he said. As well as teaching and working with patients, he also has helped write questions for national board exams in his field. He also has been involved with translational research and has published several papers.
