Bio
Throughout his career, Walker has followed two distinct tracks in his research: movement disorders such as Huntington’s disease and Parkinson’s disease, and nerve and muscle imaging through electromyography and neuromuscular ultrasound. He has long been involved with clinical trials of movement disorder treatments and is currently focused on developing injection of gene therapy vectors directly into the spinal column. Because rapid advances in ultrasound imaging have allowed access to very powerful diagnostic information, Walker is interested in proliferating the use of the technology in medical practice. He hopes to use it to screen populations who may be vulnerable to common neuromuscular disorders such as carpal tunnel syndrome.
Walker believes that exciting recent research developments will soon lead to effective new treatments for the most common neurodegenerative genetic disorders, particularly in Huntington’s disease. He participates in that type of research as part of a massive, “big team” scientific effort conducting large-scale clinical trials. On a more individualized, hands-on level of research, he works directly with patients to help advance the field of electromyography, using neuromuscular ultrasound to diagnose common nerve and muscle disorders. He believes that technology now offers the opportunity to allow cost-effective access to the diagnostics in settings outside the physician’s office, such as industrial sites, shopping malls, airports and nursing homes.
