Bio: Dr. Alex Niemczura has a PhD in biomedical science (neuroscience) from Northeast Ohio Medical University and Kent State University. In her job as a Senior Medical Writer, she develops medical education materials and scientific publications for major pharmaceutical companies. Her medical writing experience is in the areas of rare diseases, lung cancer, neuropsychiatry, and ophthalmology. 

Alex is the mother of two wonderful children — a 3-year-old daughter, Stella, and a 1.5-year-old son, Hudson. Hudson has a rare form of dwarfism, called hypochondroplasia. When he was diagnosed, Alex discovered there was not a lot of information about hypochondroplasia available for parents; she realized she was in a position to change that. She now uses her medical knowledge and communications experience to teach others about dwarfism and share her experience as a mother of a child with hypochondroplasia, in both her professional and personal life.
