In this Quest Podcast episode, we chat with geneticist, Dr. Jeffrey Chamberlain and the Chief Research Officer of the Muscular Dystrophy Association, Dr. Sharon Hesterlee. Both have devoted their time and expertise to create and move forward research and treatments for neuromuscular diseases. Their goal is to create successful treatments and eventually a cure for those effect by neuromuscular diseases. These specialists join us to share their experiences, expertise, and advice.
Transcript
Guests:
Dr. Jeffrey Chamberlain is a geneticist with expertise in the muscular dystrophies, and is currently a professor of neurology, medicine and biochemistry at the University of Washington School of Medicine, director of the Wellstone Muscular Dystrophy Specialized Research Center, and the McCaw Endowed Chair in Muscular Dystrophy. He is also current president of the American Society for Gene and Cell Therapy. Research in the Chamberlain lab focuses on understanding the molecular basis of, and developing treatments for, the muscular dystrophies with a focus on gene therapy. His group invented ‘micro-dystrophin’ and discovered that vectors derived from AAV can be used for bodywide, systemic gene delivery to muscle. Several of his vector designs are being tested in human clinical trials for Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
