    Clinical Focus
    • Neurology
    Research Interest

    Our Neuromuscular Division coordinates a comprehensive effort to conquer peripheral nerve and muscle disorders, including the muscular dystrophies, motor neuron disorders, neuromuscular junction abnormalities, and peripheral neuropathies. With patients and families foremost in mind, we have had success defining and combating these diseases, with research focused on identifying genetic causes, developing novel treatment, and maximizing patient function by optimizing current management.

  • Academic Appointments Postdoctoral Research fellowNeurology & Neurological Sciences
    Research Interest

    Molecular mechanisms underlying neuromuscular disorders and the molecular regulation of satellite cell quiescence and activation in relation to normal aging.

  • Academic Appointments Clinical Professor,  Neurology & Neurological Sciences
    Clinical Focus
    • Multiple Sclerosis
    • Neuromyelitis Optica
    • Transverse Myelitis
    Research Interest

    Translational research in the human application of emerging immunotherapies for neurological disease, focusing on Multiple Sclerosis, CIS, transverse myelitis and Neuromyelitis Optica (NMO). Collaborative research with Stanford and extramural scientific faculty to identify biomarkers of disease activity and treatment response in humans. Clinical trials to assess efficacy of emerging treatments for MS, CIS and NMO, recently including trials of alemtuzumab, oral sphingosine 1 phosphate inhibition..
