The center will tackle pressing research questions in peripheral neuropathy, with a particular focus on areas that impede the development of better diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.
Major Areas of Focus
Research supported by the center will seek to:
Identify biomarkers of the disease
Identify the causes of peripheral neuropathies
Create an improved diagnostic blood test
Uncover what drives nerve degeneration
Develop drugs to prevent peripheral neuropathies and improve nerve regeneration
Build and expand a clinical research registry
Cross-Collaboration
To support our group's bold research objectives, our investigators will be supported by a broad range of expertise across Johns Hopkins, from groups including:
