Guest Speaker

Dr. Zingariello completed her Pediatric Neurology residency at Vanderbilt, followed by a Neuromuscular fellowship at the University of Pennsylvania/CHOP. She joined the Child Neurology faculty at the University of Florida in 2018 and participates in the MDA clinic at UF.

Dr. Zingariello is actively involved in muscular dystrophy research. Since 2022, she has served as Co-PI on a CDC-sponsored muscular dystrophy surveillance study (MD STARnet). She also serves as PI for a Limb Girdle muscular dystrophy clinical trial. She additionally serves as a sub-Investigator on multiple gene therapy clinical trials for Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

Our Community Webinar Series is focused on ensuring that our Duchenne community is better prepared for those unexpected moments, challenging medical decisions, and difficult stages when on a Duchenne journey.

No one ever expects Duchenne and there is no correct way to tackle a diagnosis, but we can always better prepare. This webinar series is an opportunity to equip yourself with more knowledge, resources, and tools for those real-life, often unanticipated, scenarios.
