Host: Charles Turck, PharmD, BCPS, BCCCP

Guest: Zarazuela Zolkipli-Cunningham, MBChB, MRCP

Guest: Oscar H. (Hank) Mayer, MD

Thymidine kinase 2 deficiency (TK2d) is a rare mitochondrial myopathy that can involve multiple organ systems, requiring care from different specialties. Given that need for multidisciplinary coordination, Dr. Charles Turck speaks with Drs. Hank Mayer and Zuela Zolkipli-Cunningham to learn how we can improve communication and collaboration across the care team throughout the diagnostic and management journey. Coming to us from the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Dr. Mayer is the Director of the Pulmonary Function Laboratory, and Dr. Zolkipli-Cunningham is the Director of Clinical Research in the Mitochondrial Medicine Frontier Program.
