Neil Porter

Neil Porter is an Assistant Professor specializing in Neurology and Pediatrics. He is board-certified in neurology with a subspecialty in clinical neurophysiology. His research focuses on identifying novel proteins in muscular dystrophy, enhancing motor recovery post-nerve injury, and applying bioinformatics to uncover environmental factors influencing medical conditions.

• Medical education at The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine (1982-1986)
• Residency in Neurology at The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine (1991-1994)
• Fellowship in Clinical Neurophysiology at The University of Maryland School of Medicine (1994-1995)

Dr. Porter’s publications highlight his expertise in neuromuscular disorders, particularly Spinobulbar Muscular Atrophy and Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy. His work bridges clinical neurophysiology and bioinformatics, aiming to decode protein abnormalities and structural changes in muscular dystrophy. While no formal awards or student advising details are listed, his contributions to neurology remain impactful.
