Biography

Dr. Lawlor received his medical degree and doctorate from Loyola University School of Medicine in Maywood, Illinois (2004). Since completing his postdoctoral research training at Boston Children's Hospital in Massachusetts in 2008, Dr. Lawlor has established clinical and research neuromuscular pathology laboratories at the 皇家华人 with a focus on the diagnosis and treatment of pediatric muscle disease. His research interests include pathological analyses for preclinical trials in animal models of X-linked myotubular myopathy, nemaline myopathy, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, and a variety of other skeletal muscle and cardiac disorders. Dr. Lawlor is currently working with multiple industry partners in support of their gene therapy programs for genetic disorders involving skeletal muscle, heart, liver, lung, and other organ systems. He is a board-certified anatomic pathologist and neuropathologist, and has directed two clinical laboratories that perform diagnostic services for skeletal muscle and nerve biopsies. Dr. Lawlor has authored six book chapters and over 100 publications in peer-reviewed scientific journals. In the summer of 2022, Dr. Lawlor spun out his academic research laboratory to establish a new commercial research laboratory, Diverge Translational Science Laboratory, outside of MCW, which is focused on continuing their work in supporting the translation of promising therapies from the preclinical through the clinical trial stages.
