Hereditary Disease | Montefiore Einstein

Paul Levy, MD, is Director, Center for Inherited Metabolic Disorders and Director, Inherited Metabolic Disease Specialty Care Referral Center at the Children’s Hospital at Montefiore Einstein. He is also Associate Professor, Pediatrics and Pathology at our Albert Einstein College of Medicine. Dr. Levy sees patients with complex medical issues that may have a genetic etiology. He has a special interest in inherited metabolic disorders, including phenylketonuria (PKU), lysosomal storage diseases and urea cycle disorders, and sees newborns referred by the New York State Newborn Screening Program with positive screens.
After earning his Doctor of Medicine at Tulane University, Dr. Levy completed his residency in pediatrics at Montefiore Einstein. He then completed a fellowship in ambulatory pediatrics at the same institution. Following this, Dr. Levy completed a fellowship in clinical and biochemical genetics at Tulane University. Dr. Levy is involved in a long-term follow-up study for children with disorders diagnosed by newborn screening. He also participates in a study looking into a novel way to look at newborn screening and follow-up testing to determine if some infants with positive newborn screens may have a late-onset disease such as Pompe, Krabbe, and mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS I). Dr. Levy is on an advisory panel for Krabbe disease that helps physicians interpret clinical data to help determine infants’ status and help with needed follow-up. He has been principal investigator and co-investigator on clinical trials and funded research projects, and his work has been published in numerous peer-reviewed journals, review articles, book chapters and meeting abstracts. Dr. Levy has also given several nationally invited presentations and has been a journal reviewer for Pediatrics Journal of Pediatrics and Genetics in Medicine. Dr. Levy is a Diplomat of the National Board of Medical Examiners and is board certified by the American Board of Pediatrics and the American Board of Medical Genetics. He is a member of many professional organizations, including the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Society of Human Genetics, Society for Inherited Metabolic Disorders and the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics. In 2023, Dr. Levy received the “Clinician Champion Award in Newborn Screening” from the Association of Public Health Laboratories.

From 2007 to 2012, he attended Yale University. During this time, he received his Master of Health Sciences and Doctor of Medicine. Dr. Kobets began his postgraduate training in 2012 at Albert Einstein College of Medicine and continued to train there until 2019. He began with a year-long internship in neurological surgery. He then completed a 6-year residency in neurological surgery, becoming Chief Resident in the final year. In 2019, Dr. Kobets began a year-long fellowship in pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital.Dr. Kobets’ research aims to develop a model of hydrocephalus secondary to intraventricular hemorrhage to trial the use of cutting-edge therapies to prevent life-long shunt dependence in children with hydrocephalus. His work has been published in a number of peer-reviewed journals, books and abstracts, and has been presented internationally at invited presentations.The Norma Bailey Berniker Prize was given to Dr. Kobets by the Yale School of Medicine in 2012.
