"This Month in Muscular Dystrophy"

Podcasts Dedicated to the Latest Neuromuscular Research

Kevin Flanigan, MD

Hosted by Kevin Flanigan, MD, "This Month in Muscular Dystrophy" podcasts highlight the latest in muscular dystrophy and other inherited neuromuscular disease research.  During each podcast, authors of recent publications discuss how their work improves our understanding of inherited neuromuscular diseases, and what their work might mean for treatment of these diseases.
