Neuromuscular Bioengineering Laboratory

Welcome to the Neuromuscular Bioengineering Lab at the University of Maryland, College Park! Our lab studies the function, dysfunction, and plasticity of the nervous and muscular systems. We utilize a variety of computational and experimental methods to study these systems at the molecular, cell and tissue scales. These slides provide some background and motivation for our work. Additional details on specific projects may be found here.
