I have been on the staff at Ohio State since 1992 in the Division of Neuromuscular Diseases, where I serve as director of the Electromyography (EMG) Laboratory and co-director of the Myasthenia Gravis Clinic. I am board certified in neurology with an added qualification in neurophysiology. I have participated in a wide range of clinical trials in the area of neuromuscular diseases.

I specialize in the genetic evaluation of neuromuscular disorders such as muscular dystrophies, hereditary neuropathies and motor neuron diseases. I work to bring genetic testing technology to patient care for noninvasive genetic diagnosis, risk assessment and genetic counseling. My research interests include the genetic basis and genetic counseling for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

My nursing career began in 2011 at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical center as a staff nurse at Dodd Hall. I worked primarily with Traumatic Brain Injury and Spinal Cord Injury patients for about 7 years. While working as a staff nurse, I attended Ohio State University for my master’s degree. I graduated from Ohio State in 2017 with a Master of Science, and became certified as a Family Nurse Practitioner. I am board certified by the American Nursing Credentialing Center, ANCC. In 2018, I joined the Neuromuscular Team as a board certified Family Nurse Practitioner. I am a member of the American Academy of Neurology. Also a Registered Dietitian, I previously worked as a clinical dietitian at OSUMC from 2005-2011, and at Columbus Public Health 2001-2005.

I received my Master of Social Work degree from The Ohio State University. Since 2009, I have worked in the Columbus community, and have experience with case management, psychosocial assessments, community resources, caregiver issues and knowledge of Medicare and Medicaid.

David Arnold, MD, is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Neurology. His research interests include the full spectrum of neuromuscular disorders, functional and rehabilitation aspects of neuromuscular disorders and less commonly used neurophysiological techniques such as single fiber EMG and quantitative EMG.

I am a professor in the Department of Neurology. My research is focused on neuromuscular diseases including myasthenia gravis (MG), chronic inflammatory demyelinating neuropathy (CIDP), dermatomyositis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), iodiopathic painful neuropathies and hereditary neuropathies.

Stephen Kolb, MD, PhD is an associate professor in the Department of Neurology as well as the Department of Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry. Dr. Kolb's research is devoted to the understanding of molecular pathways that, when altered, result in diseases of the motor neuron. He is particularly interested in alterations in RNA metabolism that result in neurological diseases.

Adam Quick, MD, is an assistant professor in the Department of Neurology. He received his MD from Indiana University School of Medicine and completed his residency and fellowship at the University of Vermont. Dr. Quick is involved in an ongoing study examining MRI correlates of motor and cognitive dysfunction in patients with ALS.
