Jerry R. Mendell

Jerry R. Mendell's research focuses on inherited muscle diseases, particularly Duchenne muscular dystrophy (a genetic muscle-wasting disorder) and dysferlinopathy (a related muscle disease caused by a different gene defect). Much of the recent work involves clinical trials of gene therapies, including delandistrogene moxeparvovec, as well as natural history studies tracking disease progression using imaging and blood biomarkers. This work is clinically oriented, involving multi-site patient studies rather than laboratory-based basic science.

Publication output has fluctuated over the past decade with alternating higher and lower years (e.g., peaks in 2019, 2021, and 2023), and has declined somewhat in the most recent two years compared to the decade average.
