Brief description Inherited myopathies collectively affect ~1 in 1000 people, cause life-long disability and often shortened life. This fellowship addresses two key areas of need. 1. New gene discovery for the inherited myopathies using the latest genetic techniques and 2. developing therapies. I will test two recently developed drugs as potential treatments for tropomyosin myopathies and investigate key areas of disease mechanism for tropomyosin and RYR1 myopathies to identify new therapeutic targets.
