Forskningsbeskrivning

Involved in neuromuscular research, mainly dealing with inflammatory
disorders of periheral nerves, but also other types of polyneuropathaties
such as ATTRv amyloidosis with polyneuropathy. Also involved in research in
inflammatory disorders of the neuromuscular junction (Myasthenia Gravis) as
well as in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS).
