Description: Main focus of research is the development of gene and cell therapies that can correct and treat the muscular dystrophies.
Chamberlain Laboratory, UW Department of Neurology is the principal investigator of the Chamberlain Lab in the Department of Neurology, University of Washington School of Medicine and director of the Senator Paul D. Wellstone Muscular Dystrophy Cooperative Research Center. The main focus of our research is on the muscular dystrophies, primarily Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), with two major goals: to develop a better understanding of the molecular basis of the pathophysiology of the diseases, and to develop gene and cell therapies that will correct and treat the muscular dystrophies. DMD is the most common form of muscular dystrophy, affecting one in 3,500 newborn males, and is caused by mutations in the dystrophin gene.
