Research at Allied Biomedical Research Institute in Miami looks at myasthenia gravis and the muscle weakness it causes. Apply online to register your interest.
Myasthenia gravis interrupts the signal between nerves and muscles, so eyelids, speech, swallowing or limbs can tire quickly. Teams at Allied Biomedical Research Institute in Miami look at how muscle strength changes across the day and at medicines that work differently from the ones already available.
Taking part usually means a first visit, regular follow-ups with simple strength and breathing checks, and routine lab work. The team explains every step in advance, and taking part is voluntary.
