David Arnold’s research program is focused on translational neuromuscular physiology in the context of health, aging and disease. His lab leverages clinical and preclinical studies to understand mechanisms of biological aging of the nervous system as well as genetic, acquired and sporadic disorders of muscle and the motoneuron. Adding years to a person’s life is not Dr. Arnold’s primary goal. Instead, he is interested in mechanisms of decline of the nervous system and muscle during aging and understanding ways to improve resiliency of nervous system function across the lifespan.
