Meet our Scientific Advisors

Dr. Bryn Webb is a board-certified pediatrician, clinical geneticist, and clinical molecular geneticist. She serves as an associate professor in the Division of Genetics and Metabolism at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and is the Director of the Undiagnosed Disease Program. Dr. Webb also holds a faculty position at the UW Center for Human Genomics and Precision Medicine. 

​

Beyond her work in research and in clinic, Dr. Webb is a passionate advocate for individuals with rare diseases. She participates in Rare Disease Day on Capital Hill and Rare Across America, where she meets with her state's U.S. Representatives and Senators to highlight the critical resources needed by the rare disease community. 

​

Dr. Webb is committed to improving diagnostic outcomes and therapeutic strategies for children with rare diseases. She is enthusiastic about collaborating with the POU4F1 Foundation to advance research and support affected families.

Born in Zambia and trained across Canada, the UK, and the United States, his career has been guided by a deep commitment to understanding how the brain controls movement. After early work in kinesiology and rehabilitative exercise therapy, he pursued advanced training in neuroscience, focusing on the cerebellum — a critical brain region involved in motor coordination, balance, and learning.

​

Now at Baylor College of Medicine, he leads research dedicated to uncovering how cerebellar dysfunction contributes to pediatric brain disorders and complex neurological conditions, including ataxia, dystonia, epilepsy, and autism. His work combines advanced genetic models, molecular biology, and innovative therapeutic strategies, with a strong focus on translating discoveries into meaningful treatments.

​

He is especially passionate about exploring cerebellar stimulation and exercise-based interventions as potential pathways to improve both motor and mental health outcomes for children and families affected by rare neurological disease.

Dr. Kristin Seaborg is a board-certified pediatric neurologist and pediatrician at University of Wisconsin Health and the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health. She brings a wealth of expertise in pediatric neurology and sleep medicine, with a clinical focus on caring for children with complex neurological conditions. 

Dr. Seaborg earned her medical degree from the University of Wisconsin and completed her residency at UW Hospitals and Clinics. She is deeply committed to advancing pediatric neurological care through both clinical work and collaborative research. 

 

As someone who is passionate about improving the lives of children with rare neurological disorders, Dr. Seaborg is excited to join the efforts of the POU4F1 Foundation, Inc. By participating in the foundation's research and family initiatives, she hopes to contribute to a deeper understanding of the condition and provide meaningful support to affected families.
