We study function and disease-associated dysfunction of skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle, and central and peripheral nervous systems. Projects concerning skeletal muscle include:
- Contractile dysfunction in Duchenne muscular dystrophy
- Developmental and epigenetic mechanisms using zebrafish and rat in vivo systems and human in vitro systems
- Gene therapy approaches for Duchenne muscular dystrophy
- Gene therapy approaches for X-linked myotubular myopathy
- Muscle spindle dysfunction in muscular dystrophies
- Pathologic mechanisms of distal arthrogryposis
