amyloid neuropathies familial; axonal transport; axons; diabetic neuropathy; dna mitochondrial; hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathies; mitochondria; nerve degeneration; spastic paraplegia hereditary As a neuromuscular speciliast, I see many patients with neuropathy, both acquired and inherited. Often, legs are more symptomatic than arms, which suggests there is a fundamental process within nerves that make them more dysfunctional at the end of the nerve than the beginning. I am interested in the effect of energetic dysfunction in the ends of nerves as a trigger for degeneration. As a co-investigator in our inherited neuropathy clinic, I hope to extend research findings to patients with a variety of neuropathies and disorders of central nervous system axon degeneration.
