As a PM&R-physician and scientist with sub-specialty certifications in neuromuscular and electrodiagnostic medicine, the focus of Franz’s clinical and research agendas are highly integrated. He studies as well as takes care of patients with traumatic neurological injuries, neuropathy, diaphragm muscle weakness and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The Franz lab uses a combination of cellular, molecular, bioengineering and electrophysiological techniques and employs small animal (in vivo) and human stem cell-based (in vitro) models of nerve degeneration and regeneration.
