Improving Quality of Life for Children with Neuromuscular Disorders
The Neuromuscular Development Group at Cincinnati Children’s leads innovative research on the development, function and disorders of the neuromuscular system. Our multidisciplinary team unites expertise from five research divisions to explore the underlying mechanisms that govern muscle and nerve development. These divisions include:
Anesthesia Research
Anesthesia Research integrates clinical and basic science to improve anesthesia care and pain management for pediatric patients.
Developmental Biology Research
Scientists in Developmental Biology are investigating cellular, molecular and genetic mechanisms of embryonic development to understand the causes of congenital diseases and advance stem cell research for regenerative medicine.
Molecular Cardiovascular Biology Research
Research in Molecular Cardiovascular Biology examines molecular mechanisms of heart and muscle development, including heart regeneration and cardiomyopathies.
Neurosurgery Research
Neurosurgery Research merges basic and clinical research to understand neurologic disorders, neurodegenerative diseases, and head and spine injuries.
Orthopaedics Research
Researchers in Orthopaedics are conducting basic research and clinical studies to enhance musculoskeletal health, targeting areas such as spine conditions, growth plate development, sports medicine, limb deformities and trauma.
