University At Albany
Dr. Berglund’s scientific career has revolved around understanding the role of RNA in biology. The focus of his research is on neuromuscular diseases with the goal of translating basic science into therapeutic strategies using a combination of biochemical, cellular, genomic and computational approaches. He is particularly interested in understanding the mechanisms of a common form of muscular dystrophy, myotonic dystrophy, with several personal connections to this devastating disease.
