Dr. Salameh has a unique background that encompasses both basic science and clinical research. Dr. Salameh completed her basic science doctoral degree in Physiology and Biophysics at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, OH. Afterwards, she transitioned into clinical research when she joined the Cleveland Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) Center as a postdoctoral fellow. Dr. Salameh then furthered her career by becoming a health research scientist at the Cleveland FES Center, concurrently assuming the role of assistant professor in the Department of Neurology at the School of Medicine at Case Western Reserve University.

In July 2023, Dr. Salameh joined Â鶹´«Ã½ College of Podiatric Medicine as an assistant professor in the Preclinical Science Division where she teaches physiology and neurobiology. Dr. Salameh also is a Principal investigator at Cleveland FES Center and director of Neurophysiology & Neuromodulation Lab (Modulable) at Â鶹´«Ã½.

Dr. Salameh's research has two thrusts. First, to understand how the nervous system controls muscle coordination during movement and how brain injuries, such as stroke, disrupt this control. Second, to develop mechanism-based neuromodulatory therapeutic strategies to improve motor function for people with neurological conditions that affect movement. Dr. Salameh received both NIH and VA career development awards.
