Research summary
AI-generated

Rabi Tawil's research focuses on facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) and related neuromuscular diseases, combining clinical trials, imaging, and molecular biology approaches to understand disease progression and identify biomarkers. Work includes testing new drugs (like losmapimod), developing muscle imaging techniques (electrical impedance myography, MRI, 3D modeling), and studying the genetic and epigenetic mechanisms (such as SMCHD1 and DUX4 gene activation) underlying muscle degeneration.

Publication output was higher around 2017 but has declined and stabilized at a lower, steady level of roughly 9-10 papers per year over the past several years.
