CTSA Virtual Visiting Scholar Program: Understanding the neurobiology of working memory deficits in DMD

Understanding the neurobiology of working memory deficits in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

Mathula Thangarajh, MD, PhD, FAAN, an assistant professor in the Department of Neurology at Virginia Commonwealth University, joins us to discuss the cognitive phenotype of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) and summarize innovative methods to characterize the neurobiology of executive function deficits in DMD. Thangarajh has an Institutional KL2 Career Development Award funded by the National Center for Advancing Translational Science.

The CTSA Virtual Visiting Scholar Program brings clinical and translational scholars from across the CTSA Consortium to NC TraCS Institute for research seminars and virtual campus visits.
