Neuromuscular Disease
Findlay Lab
Andrew Findlay, MD
Developing therapeutic strategies for hereditary muscle disorders such as muscular dystrophy and age-related conditions like sarcopenia by translating disease mechanisms into targeted treatments.
Knox Lab
Renatta Knox, MD, PhD
Focused on inherited neuromuscular disorders, including facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy and congenital myopathies, aiming to develop targeted therapies through molecular and translational research.
Ly Lab
Cindy Ly, MD, PhD
Investigates the molecular mechanisms of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and related neuromuscular disorders, aiming to translate genetic discoveries into targeted therapies.
Weihl Lab
Conrad Weihl, MD, PhD
Investigating how disruptions in protein quality control contribute to muscle and neurodegenerative diseases. Using biochemistry, cell culture, animal models and patient tissue, the lab studies conditions like inclusion body myopathy, Paget’s disease, frontotemporal dementia and limb-girdle muscular dystrophy to uncover mechanisms of protein aggregation and cellular degeneration.
