  Dr. Imitola has expertise in design, execution, and oversight of translational trials for Multiple Sclerosis and spasticity.
  
  He has basic science interests in applied molecular genetics, developmental biology to understand CNS repair, remyelination and neurodegeneration in multiple sclerosis especially the molecular basis of neuronal vulnerability to inflammation-induced neurodegeneration, the influence of immunity on neural stem cells, cancer stem cells, and biomarkers for CNS repair.
  
  Before joining UConn School of Medicine, He was an attending Neurologist at the Ohio State Wexner Multiple Sclerosis Center, founder of the multidisciplinary Progressive MS clinic and care, the Scarlet and Gray MS community online, and the highly successful Scarlet and Gray MS patient education day in collaboration with multiple providers at the Ohio State Wexner Medical Center
