Background

Sarah Berth, M.D., Ph.D., is a neurologist with expertise in neuromuscular disorders who sees patients in the Baltimore area. She specializes in neuromuscular medicine, motor neuron diseases and muscle diseases.

Dr. Berth earned her M.D. and Ph.D. from the University of Illinois-Chicago. She then came to The Johns Hopkins Hospital for her neurology residency, where she also completed a fellowship in neuromuscular medicine. 

Dr. Berth’s research interests include understanding cellular mechanisms for degeneration in neuromuscular disease.  She is particularly interested in understanding how transport of organelles and autophagy (clearance of damaged proteins) is disrupted in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
