For the last several years he has been an examiner for the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada (Neurology), and for the Canadian Society of Clinical Neurophysiologists (CSCN; EMG exam) as well as a member of Medical/Scientific Advisory Board of the Myasthenia Gravis Foundation of America.

The Myasthenia Gravis Clinic

Dr. Nicolle is one of the consulting neurologists in the Neuromuscular Clinic where patients with a wide variety of nerve, neuromuscular junction and muscle problems are assessed. Although involved in the management of patients with neuromuscular diseases in general, his specific interest is in myasthenia gravis (MG) and other disorders of neuromuscular transmission. The MG clinic at LHSC, directed by Dr. Nicolle, actively follows several hundred patients with myasthenia gravis referred from a number of centers in Ontario and across Canada. Dr. Nicolle has extensive experience in the diagnosis and management of MG and is involved in research in this disease.
