Cecilia Lidbeck serves as an Assistant Professor and Docent at the Department of Women's and Children's Health, Karolinska Institutet, and is affiliated with the Motion Analysis Laboratory at Astrid Lindgren Children's Hospital, Karolinska University Hospital. Her academic work focuses on advancing rehabilitation science for pediatric movement disorders, particularly cerebral palsy, through interdisciplinary research and clinical application. Her educational qualifications include: Docent, Karolinska Institutet (2025) Doctor of Philosophy, Department of Women's and Children's Health, Karolinska Institutet (2016) Master of Medical Science, Karolinska Institutet (2009) Lidbeck's research program investigates motor functioning, gait analysis, and sensorimotor integration in children with cerebral palsy. She examines the critical roles of vision, sensation, and perception in movement/posture, alongside vestibular function, balance mechanisms, and muscle physiology. Her work bridges clinical practice and biomechanical analysis to develop targeted rehabilitation strategies for pediatric neurology. Analysis of her 2020-2024 publications reveals consistent focus on cerebral palsy biomechanics, with recurring themes in gait dynamics (knee flexion/contracture relationships), muscle architecture (triceps surae stiffness/fat distribution), and sensory processing (position sense, perceptual disorders). Her methodology combines instrumented movement analysis, diffusion tensor imaging, and clinical scale validation, contributing significantly to neurorehabilitation assessment tools. Lidbeck actively supervises doctoral researchers: Annika Ericson (Pediatric Physiotherapist, MSc) Alexandra Åhblom (Physiotherapist, MSc) Susanne Gripenberg (Physiotherapist, MSc) Edwin Råsberg (MD) She leads an interprofessional team within Professor Eva Broström's "Movement, Activity and Health" research group, utilizing the Motion Analysis Laboratory for advanced three-dimensional movement assessment. Her work emphasizes translating biomechanical findings into clinical rehabilitation protocols for children with movement disorders.

Gavin R Rumbaugh is a Professor at Scripps Research in the Department of Neuroscience, where he leads the Rumbaugh Laboratory focused on molecular and genetic mechanisms that shape synapse and circuit biology within the mammalian nervous system. His research provides molecular insight into the relationship between cell biology within neuronal subtypes and how this shapes synaptic architecture of neural circuits that subserve cognitive processing and behavioral adaptation. The Rumbaugh laboratory is comprised of three collaborative working groups: 1) Neuronal Cell Biology Group focused on elucidating molecular mechanisms within neuronal subtypes; 2) Systems Neurobiology Group using rodent models to understand neural circuit connectivity; and 3) Small Molecule Discovery Group seeking to discover drug-like small molecules that regulate synapse biology. His research spans basic neuroscience and translational drug discovery, with particular focus on neurodevelopmental disorder genes like SYNGAP1. Analysis of Dr. Rumbaugh's publications reveals a strong focus on SYNGAP1-related mechanisms across multiple dimensions of neural function - from molecular and cellular levels to circuit dynamics and behavioral phenotypes. His work demonstrates how mutations in neurodevelopmental disorder genes disrupt synaptic function, cortical circuit organization, and ultimately lead to cognitive and behavioral impairments characteristic of conditions like autism spectrum disorder. Member – National Advisory Mental Health Council 2024 · National Institute for Mental Health (NIMH) Fellow – Kavli Frontiers of Science 2015 · Kavli Foundation and The National Academy of Sciences NARSAD Faculty Research Award 2009 · American College of Neuropsychopharmacology (ACNP) Alabama Health Sciences Foundation Scholar 2006 · Alabama Health Sciences Foundation Dr. Rumbaugh serves as Principal Investigator on multiple NIH-funded grants totaling millions of dollars, with research spanning basic mechanisms of neurodevelopmental disorders to preclinical drug development. His laboratory actively mentors graduate students and postdoctoral fellows, fostering the next generation of neuroscience researchers. The lab maintains strong collaborations with other research groups including the Miller Lab at Scripps Florida, as well as institutions like Johns Hopkins, Baylor College of Medicine, and the Max Planck Institute. The Rumbaugh Lab operates with state-of-the-art neuroscience tools including Neuropixels, two-photon microscopy, patch clamp electrophysiology, DeepLabCut for behavioral analysis, wholebrain software for anatomical mapping, high-throughput screening, and miniscope technology, enabling comprehensive investigation of neural circuits from molecular to behavioral levels.
