RESEARCH

At the Neuromuscular Centre, we work to identify cutting-edge rare disease clinical trials, and patient disease registries right here in our nation's capital.  

​

Clinical trials test the safety and efficacy of new treatment medications and diagnostic devices. Patient disease registries are used to observe and collect information about a particular disease.  

​

Partnered with the University of Ottawa, the Éric Poulin Centre for Neuromuscular Disease, the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario Research Institute, and innovative pharmaceutical companies, we are working to test and develop new medications for neuromuscular diseases.

​

We aim to use our medical discoveries to understand the nature of rare diseases and help develop new therapies for patients with neuromuscular disorders. ​​ 

 

We have formed a collaborative research team of clinicians, informaticians, and scientists with the objective to rapidly identify the genes and antibodies responsible for a wide spectrum of neuromuscular disorders present in the Canadian population, as well as to explore potential therapeutic avenues for these disorders.
