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.

NMD4C Website Updates: Resource & Training Hubs
We’re excited to share some updates to the NMD4C website! We’ve created two hubs, the Resource Hub and the Training Hub to make it easier for all our members to find e-learning tools, and research resources!
Scheduled Maintenance
Our websites and training platforms will be undergoing maintenance from December 22 – 26 and 29 – 31, 2025. During this period, access may be limited until the work is complete. We appreciate your patience while this maintenance is carried out. If you require assistance during these times, please contact our Communications Coordinator, Lola Owoeye.
