UC Davis Neuromuscular Research

"Erik Henricson, Assistant Professor of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at the University of California, Davis, was awarded an MDA Clinical Research Grant totaling $427,822 to develop an automated sensor technology to evaluate ambulatory function in people with neuromuscular disease in the home, community, and clinical settings." Congratulations to Dr. Henricson!!

Sometimes our outfits just coordinate perfectly. Also... fun fact: our lab is moving! This space is the future Neuromuscular Research Lab and we can't wait for construction to finish so we can move in!

Thinking of all of our California residents and firefighters during this time. If you are a patient in need of support due to these fires, please reach out to your research coordinator and we will do what we can to assist.

Guess what--- we updated our website. Check it out https://health.ucdavis.edu//neuromuscular-resea/index.html

The Neuromuscular Research lab has a new look. But, we aren't grey about it. :) #ppegear #essentialworkers #maskup

What’s unique about this investigation is that it represents the first use of a systemic stem cell therapy for Duchenne muscular dystrophy, said McDonald, a professor and chair of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at UC Davis Health. It is also the first clinical trial where we measured treatment benefits for patients with advanced DMD. They otherwise face very limited options.

Congratulations to all of the 2020 Graduates!! We are so proud of you. We spotted at least 4 of our patients, and you can see our team at 1:27.

Our very own Clinical Research Manager, Erica Goude, will be discussing the topic of Navigating Clinical Trials on Jett Foundation's virtual event tomorrow morning (9:00am PST). Our team will be there, and hope you tune in too!

Throw back to January 2020 when our team joined Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy at their Healthcare Professionals’ Summit in San Diego! #Duchenne2020 #MovingForwardTogether

We will be recruiting for this exon 53 skipping study soon. Feel free to reach out to us for more information or if you have any questions.

"We're all in this together!" Check out your favorite Neuromuscular Research team at 0:55. We loved being part of the #DuchenneDaily20 Finale Event put on by Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy!!

UConn University Center for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities (UConn UCEDD) is conducting a survey to identify gaps in the current communication and public health messaging about COVID-19 specific to families and caregivers of children, youth or adults with disabilities and to identify issues facing parents of children with disabilities during this time. It is online and anonymous. Please complete or share if you have the time!
