Dr. Slama's current research interests include participating in clinical trials for expanding treatment options of neuromuscular diseases, in particular myasthenia gravis. Other interests include digital processing of electromyography signals with the goal of more objectively recognizing neurogenic and myopathic processes.
Dr. Slama's prior research includes basic science and translational research in auditory mechanics, auditory neurophysiology and hearing impairment. For M.D. research, Dr. Slama's studied the performance of auditory brainstem implants in a rat model through electrical stimulation of the auditory brainstem and simultaneous recording in the auditory midbrain. Dr. Slama also investigated the feasibility of new generation auditory brainstem implants using infrared and optogenetic stimulation strategies.
