How my research helps children
Our research program is directed at finding treatments for neuromuscular diseases. We are involved in all aspects of research that contribute to realizing treatments for neuromuscular diseases, from validating clinical outcome measures, to creating a neuromuscular disease registry in Canada, to conducting clinical trials for novel therapies.
Research
Current Research Activities
My research is focused in the areas of neuromuscular disease in childhood and pediatric traumatic brain injury and injury prevention. From a methodology perspective I have been involved in surveillance programs for rare disease and database/registry development.
