The Department of Neuromuscular Diseases is a centre of clinical and research excellence spanning spinal cord and neuromuscular disorders. Our researchers aim to understand disease mechanisms and translate these insights into new therapeutic approaches for neurological conditions.

The Nascimento Research Group is a newly established laboratory within the department, focused on translational neuroscience and the study of spinal motor circuit neurophysiology in both animal models of disease, including ALS, and in human patients. The group uses a range of electrophysiological approaches in rodents alongside high‑density surface electromyography (HDsEMG) in humans.

We work closely with the Brownstone and Beato laboratories at UCL and are embedded within wider clinical and translational programmes at the Institute of Neurology and the MND Centre, enabling strong links with clinician‑scientists and access to well‑cha...
