She completed her Pediatric residency and Pediatric Pulmonology fellowship at UC Irvine. She is board certified in Pediatric Pulmonology. In 2016, Dr. Lai joined the University of Utah and is an Assistant Professor of Pediatrics in the Division of Pediatric Pulmonary and Sleep Medicine. Her clinical interests include cystic fibrosis, asthma, bronchopulmonary dysplasia / chronic lung disease of prematurity, interstitial lung disease, and pulmonary hypertension.

Dr. Raleigh received her medical degree from Brown University and completed her Pediatric residency as well as her Pediatric Endocrinology Fellowship at the University of Utah. She is board certified in General Pediatrics. She is currently an Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Utah in the Division of Pediatric Endocrinology. Her research interests include congenital hypothyroidism and type 1 diabetes. Her clinical interests include type 1 diabetes as well as disorders of growth, puberty, the thyroid and adrenal glands.

Dr. Underhill graduated with a B.S. in Mathematics from Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, then he obtained an M.D. from Wake Forest University School of Medicine. After an interesting diversion that included a General Surgery internship and two-years of Neurological Surgery residency training at the University of Washington in Seattle, Dr. Underhill entered graduate school and obtained a Ph.D. in Bioengineering from the University of Washington. He then completed a residency in Clinical Medical Genetics at the University of Washington. After residency, he completed a post-doc in Tumor Biology at the University of Washington, which was supported by the NIH. He subsequently completed a fellowship in Clinical Biochemical Genetics at the University of Utah. He is currently an Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at the University of the Utah in the Division of Medical Genetics. Dr. Underhill is board-certified in Medical Genetics and board-eligible in Clinical Biochemical Genetics. He has a special interest in inborn errors of metabolism, lysosomal storage disorders, and biochemical and genetic disorders that affect myelination. Dr. Underhill’s research interests include the development, translation, and application of advanced quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques for studying diseases that affect white matter. He has an interest in the study of white matter in biochemical disorders, genetic disorders, brain tumors, traumatic brain injury, and neurodegenerative conditions. He also has an interest in exploiting circulating tumor DNA for early and recurrent detection of solid tumors in both adult and pediatric patients. Dr. Underhill has a particular interest in research that integrates molecular research for genotyping with MRI for phenotyping to explore relationships between changes in DNA and tumor behavior and to broaden the understanding of mutational effects on development.
