Background
Dr. Hayes specializes in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and related neuromuscular disorders and conducts translational research on ALS/FTD pathogenesis and treatment.
She received her M.D. and Ph.D. from Emory University in Atlanta. She then completed neurology residency and neuromuscular fellowship at The Johns Hopkins Hospital before joining the neurology faculty in 2016.
Dr. Hayes' laboratory studies RNA-protein trafficking and disruption in neurodegeneration. The major focus of the laboratory is how nucleocytoplasmic transport and RNA processing intersect to regulate the localization and function of RNA binding proteins such as TDP-43. Using that knowledge, Dr. Hayes and colleagues are working to develop novel therapies for ALS/FTD.
Patient Ratings & Comments
The Patient Rating score is an average of all responses to physician related questions on the national CG-CAHPS Medical Practice patient experience survey through Press Ganey. Responses are measured on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the best score. Comments are also gathered from our CG-CAHPS Medical Practice Survey through Press Ganey and displayed in their entirety. Patients are de-identified for confidentiality and patient privacy.
