W. David Arnold

W. David Arnold studies neuromuscular disorders, including diseases like ALS, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, myotonic dystrophy, and age-related muscle loss (sarcopenia), using both mouse models and studies of people. The work spans basic biology of nerve-muscle connections (the neuromuscular junction), diagnostic tools such as electrical impedance myography, and clinical/rehabilitation approaches including exercise therapy and genetic treatments. This research combines physical medicine and rehabilitation with molecular and physiological investigation of neuromuscular disease mechanisms.

Publication output has been fairly steady over the past decade, averaging around 20-25 papers per year with a dip in 2022, and recent years continue at a similar or slightly reduced pace.
