Brian J. Shayota,
MD
Languages Spoken:
Dr. Shayota completed his medical degree at St. George’s University, School of Medicine. He then completed Pediatric residency at New York Medical College in Paterson, NJ and Medical Genetics residency and Medical Biochemical fellowship at Baylor College of Medicine. He is now an Assistant Professor in the division of Medical Genetics at the University of Utah.
Dr. Shayota’s clinical interests are inborn errors of metabolism, disorders of energy production including mitochondrial disorders, and undiagnosed and rare genetic conditions. His current research focus is expanding the biochemical phenotype of inborn errors of metabolism through metabolomic testing and identifying novel treatment strategies for rare genetic disorders. Additionally, Dr. Shayota has a Masters of Public Health and an interest in the Utah Newborn Screen.
Brian J. Shayota, MD, MPH is an Assistant Professor of Pediatrics and Medical Genetics at the University of Utah.
