Research summary
AI-generated

Megan A. Waldrop's work focuses on neuromuscular disorders in children and adults, particularly spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) and Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), including studies of newer gene therapies and exon-skipping drugs. Her publications commonly involve clinical outcomes research, treatment guidelines, and real-world safety/efficacy tracking through patient registries and long-term follow-up studies. This research is aimed at improving diagnosis, treatment timing, and care standards for patients with these genetic muscle-wasting conditions.
