Abstract:

Our research activities focus on neuromuscular disorders with a special interest in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and myasthenic syndromes, covering epidemiological and genetic aspects as well as basic research. The Motor Neuron Disease Clinic at the Department of Neurology is member of ENCALS, the European Network to Cure ALS, and involved in clinical trials as well as (inter)national collaborations. Our group runs an ALS registry, currently covering demographic and clinical data of more than 300 ALS patients, and utilises a biobank including DNA, CSF, serum and ALS brain samples.

Techniques:

• NGS techniqes
• Molecular biology
• Electrophysiology (cell cultures)
• Immunostaining/Imaging
• (Pharmaco)Epidemiology ("big data")
