About the Event
Join us for an #ExpertTalk with Dr. Brett Morrison, a leading neurologist specializing in adult neuromuscular disorders such as peripheral neuropathies, ALS, myasthenia gravis, and muscle diseases.
Dr. Morrison has served as the principal investigator for clinical trials focused on treatments for chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP), painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy, and ALS. His research explores nerve regeneration, the biology of support glia in the brain and peripheral nerves, and the pathogenesis of motor neuron degeneration in ALS. His current work focuses on the role of the immune system in peripheral nerves and how these pathways can be targeted for new therapies.
Dr. Morrison earned his M.D. and Ph.D. from Mount Sinai Medical School in New York City, completed his medical internship at the University of Maryland, and his neurology residency and fellowship in Clinical Neurophysiology at The Johns Hopkins Hospital.
