Seymour Packman is Professor of Clinical Pediatrics and Director of the Biochemical Genetics Service, at the University of California San Francisco. Dr Packman also directs the UCSF-Stanford Lysosomal Disease Center, and the UCSF Neurometabolic Program and Clinic. He is a graduate of Columbia College and the Washington University School of Medicine. He completed his Pediatrics residency at St Louis Childrens Hospital, and received his Medical Genetics training at Yale University. He is recognized for his research in the molecular genetics and disease mechanisms of inherited disorders of copper transport, as well as for his work in the biochemistry and biology of inborn errors of biotin metabolism. Current laboratory investigational interests include mechanisms of organic anion and carnitine transport. His clinical investigations have contributed to our understanding of diverse heritable metabolic disorders, including lysosomal storage diseases, phenylketonuria, galactosemia, organic acidemias, and the congenital lactic acidoses. He is a Founding Fellow of the American College of Medical Genetics, and has been elected to membership in the Society for Pediatric Research, and the American Pediatric Society. Dr Packman is a recipient of a Special Recognition Award from the March of Dimes Birth Defects Foundation for his work in inborn errors of metabolism.
