Read Dr. Louise Moyle’s Early Career Blog
Read the latest early career blog post, from NMD4C member Dr. Louise Moyle.
Dr. Louise Moyle is a postdoctoral fellow at the Institute of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Toronto, Canada. Her research investigates mechanisms of muscle stem cell dysfunction in neuromuscular disorders, with the aim of transferring this knowledge towards future cell and gene therapies. She completed her PhD in Dr. Peter Zammit’s lab at King’s College London (UK), where she investigated muscle stem cell regeneration in facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD). She is currently working in the laboratory of Dr. Penney Gilbert, where she is supported by a Medicine by Design postdoctoral fellowship. This research aims to understand how mechanosensing via the LINC complex contributes to the process muscle stem cell repair, with relevance to Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy.

Basic Science Trainee Committee Launches Pre-Clinical Science Standard Operating Procedures
We’re pleased to announce the launch of the BSTC Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), now available through the NMD4C Resource Hub. These SOPs provide standardized guidance for laboratories, clinics, and research programs across Canada, supporting consistent, high-quality neuromuscular care and research. Explore the full SOP Library and other open-access resources designed to advance collaboration and strengthen practices nationwide.
