Dr. Howard's focus is in disorders of neuromuscular transmission including diagnosis, management and their immune abnormalities with the goal of bringing novel therapeutic agents to the bedside. Dr. Howard has been involved in the clinical trials development of complement and FcRn inhibitors in the treatment of autoimmune myasthenia gravis leading to the first 3 drugs ever approved by the FDA for this disease. He maintain extensive clinical and physiological data on nearly 1450 patients with myasthenia gravis.
Professor of Neurology, Medicine & Allied Health
Dr. Huang clinical interests are hospitalist neurology, stroke, acute stroke treatments, neurocritical care. His clinical research interests are acute stroke interventions and treatments, cellular mechanisms of neuroprotection, intracerebral hemorrhage. His basic research interests are the pathophysiology of stroke and cellular mechanisms of neuroprotection.
Clinical Professor, UNC Department of Neurology
Dr. Hwang has developed a nationally recognized, original clinical research portfolio centered upon two major neuroscience ICU themes: (1) the varying accuracy and thought processes of clinicians when predicting functional outcomes of patients with severe acute brain injury (SABI); and (2) the decision-making and psychosocial support of family members of SABI patients who lack capacity, particularly those families who are making difficult goals-of-care decisions.

Dr. Meeker’s research is focused on the mechanisms of HIV neuropathogenesis and the development of therapeutic strategies for the treatment of neuroinflammation. Inflammatory changes within the brain caused by the viral infection initiate a toxic cascade that disrupts normal neural function and can eventually lead to neuronal death. To explore the mechanisms responsible for this damage, we investigate changes in calcium homeostasis, glutamate receptor function and inflammatory responses in primary neuronal, microglial and macrophage cultures. New therapeutic approaches targeted to signal transduction pathways and calcium regulation that protect the neurons and reduce inflammation are under investigation.
