Lyon-Ottawa partnership: Join Institute for Neuromuscular research
L. Schaeffer is the coordinator of the LIA JIN (Join Institute for Neuromuscular research). The CNMD is one of the largest institutes in the world dedicated to research on the neuromuscular system. It unites basic and clinical researchers from across the University of Ottawa and affiliated hospitals to advance our understanding of the underlying pathological mechanisms and identify novel treatment strategies for neuromuscular disease patients. Like our laboratory, the CNMD (Centre for Neuromuscular Disease) hosts muscle biology teams, neurobiologists and specialists of epigenetic regulation in muscle and neuronal cells forming a community of researchers and clinicians with expertise at all levels of the neuromuscular system with scientific expertise ranging from molecular biology, cell biology, electrophysiology to integrated human physiology. This partnership has been endorsed by CNRS with the label “Laboratoire International Associé”. The partnership benefits of an annual funding from Lyon university and CNRS to fund collaborative research programs and exchanges between the teams of the two laboratory.
