Neurosciences Research

From studies at the molecular level to the behavioral level, Neurosciences faculty members are investigating how neurological and neuromuscular disorders and conditions develop and working toward new treatment and prevention options.

Faculty members are investigating the potential of virotherapy to treat brain tumors, developing models of neuromuscular diseases, identifying gene-delivery strategies that cross the blood-brain-barrier and lead clinical trials, including the first human gene therapy trial for Duchenne muscular dystrophy, phase I clinical trial to target limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2D and have lead the first national muscular dystrophy newborn screening study.
