Peter Byers, MD
Dr. Peter Byers is a medical geneticist at the University of Washington and also founded and direct the Collagen Diagnostic Laboratory. I received my MD from Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, OH, did 2 years of internal medicine at UCSF, three years at the National Institutes of Health studying collagen structure, and then three years in Medical Genetics training at the University of Washington. I completed training in 1977 and joined the faculty at UW. From the clinical perspective, I see patients with heritable connective tissue disorders and the laboratory, run by Ulrike Schwarze, MD does diagnostic DNA and RNA processing studies.
