Overview
Dr. Brett Morrison specializes in neuromuscular disorders in adults including peripheral neuropathies, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, myasthenia gravis and muscle diseases. Dr. Morrison is currently the site principal investigator for clinical trials investigating new treatments for chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) and painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Dr. Morrison's research interests include investigations into the mechanisms of nerve regeneration and common peripheral neuropathies. Current research focuses on better understanding the role of the immune system in peripheral nerves and targeting these pathways for the development of new treatments. Dr. Brett Morrison received his M.D. and Ph.D. from Mount Sinai Medical School in New York City. He completed his medical internship at the University of Maryland and residency in neurology at The Johns Hopkins Hospital. He then completed a fellowship in Clinical Neurophysiology at The Johns Hopkins Hospital.
Dr. Morrison is rated as an Advanced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Peripheral Neuropathy. His top areas of expertise are Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS or Lou Gehrig's Disease), Spinal and Bulbar Muscular Atrophy, Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type 3, and Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA).
His clinical research consists of co-authoring 21 peer reviewed articles. MediFind looks at clinical research from the past 15 years. In particular, he has co-authored 2 articles in the study of Peripheral Neuropathy.

Clinical Research
Clinical research consists of overseeing clinical studies of patients undergoing new treatments and therapies, and publishing articles in peer reviewed medical journals. Providers who actively participate in clinical research are generally at the forefront of the fields and aware of the most up-to-date advances in treatments for their patients.
Johns Hopkins Outpatient Center
Dr. Charlotte Sumner is a Professor of Neurology and Neuroscience at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. Dr. Sumner cares for patients with genetically-mediated neuromuscular diseases. Her practice is notable for a focus on individuals with inherited neuromuscular disorders of peripheral nerves and motor neurons, including spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) and Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease. She co-directs the Johns Hopkins Muscular Dystrophy Association Care Center, the Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA), and the Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) clinics, which deliver multidisciplinary clinical care, engage in international natural history studies, and provide cutting edge therapeutics. Dr. Sumner’s research focuses on developing treatments for degenerative disorders of motor neurons and peripheral nerves. Her laboratory uses human tissues and induced pluripotent cell lines, mouse models and cultured cells to characterize disease mechanisms and develop treatments. Dr. Charlotte Sumner received her medical degree from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine following undergraduate studies at Princeton University. She completed internal medicine internship and neurology residency at the University of California San Francisco, after which she returned to the east coast for a neuromuscular fellowship at Johns Hopkins and a neurogenetics fellowship in the Neurogenetics Branch at the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke. She joined the neurology faculty at Johns Hopkins in 2006. Dr. Sumner is rated as a Distinguished provider by MediFind in the treatment of Peripheral Neuropathy. Her top areas of expertise are Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA), Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease, Primary Lateral Sclerosis, Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type 2, and Gastrostomy.
