The Risler Pavilion Laboratory is dedicated in particular to the morphological identification and characterisation of genetic neuromuscular diseases in the adult and child.
This laboratory is recognised for the scientific value of its work, its experience in human muscle biopsy analysis and its mastery of morphological techniques. Several fundamental and complementary activities are also carried out:
- Histo-enzymological analyses of frozen muscle sections
- Immunocytochemical analyses using specific antibodies directed against different muscle cell proteins : (dystrophin, sarcoglycans, dystroglycans, dysferlin, caveolin, collagen, desmin, myotilin, myosin etc)
- Ultrastructural analyses by electron microscopy
- Centre for reference for neuromuscular disease diagnosis
- Designing or participating in research programmes necessitating this expertise.
