Graduation Medical Education (GME): Motor Neuron Disease and Related Disorders

Program Description

This fellowship provides an opportunity to engage in translational research on the physiology, quantitative imaging, and genetics of motor neuron disease and related disorders. Current studies are directed at characterizing clinical, genetic, and mechanistic features of motor neuron disease and frontotemporal dementia and assessing markers of disease progression. Fellows gain hands-on experience with clinical and translational research methodology and may take coursework to obtain an NIH certificate in clinical research.

Areas of Current Research

  • Investigating Complex Neurodegenerative Disorders related to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal dementia
  • Molecular and cellular mechanisms of ALS/FTD spectrum disorders
  • Endogenous Retroviruses in ALS
