The H. Houston Merritt Neuromuscular Research Center
The mission of the H. Houston Merritt Neuromuscular Research Center is to elucidate the causes and to develop treatments for neuromuscular and mitochondrial disorders using a multidisciplinary translational research approach.
About Us
Founded in 1974 by Dr. Lewis P. “Bud Rowland”, the Merritt Center originally focused on characterizing muscular dystrophies. After Dr. Rowland recruited Dr. Salvatore “Billi” DiMauro to Columbia, the Center’s research increasingly shifted to metabolic disorders with a special emphasis on mitochondrial disease.
