Her research interests lie in the regulation of gene expression in the context of muscle diseases. Her main aims include improving the rates of diagnosis by developing a pipeline for routine screening of regulatory regions and creating new treatments for early onset neuromuscular disorders. Rhonda's investigation areas encompass AAV-mediated gene therapy, CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing, oligonucleotide-based therapeutics, and induced pluripotent stem cell models for muscle diseases.
