Maureen Starnes, CPNP has joined our group and will be scheduling appointments for routine follow up appointments.
She has a special interest in patients with mitochondrial disease. Her experience is extensive and includes the
neonatal intensive care unit and Pediatric Neurology (Emory Children’s Center). Appointments will allow us to follow
patients, review testing and records, assess the patients relative to the diagnostic criteria for mitochondrial
disease, obtain appropriate follow up testing, answer questions, and inform patients and families about our research
progress with new medications for treatment of mitochondrial disease.

• Mitochondrial Diseases - The mitochondria convert the energy of food molecules into the ATP
that powers most cell functions. Mitochondrial diseases take on unique characteristics due to complex inheritance patterns
and due to the importance to a large array of cellular functions.
• Neurotransmitter Diseases - Neurotransmitters are chemicals that are used to relay, amplify
and modulate electrical signals between a neuron and another cell. Appropriate testing is critical to diagnosis and
treatment of patients with these diseases.
• Metabolic Diseases - Medical Neurogenetics has nationally recognized expertise on inherited metabolic disorders that
impact mitochondrial function.
