Summary

  • I am a physician scientist, board-certified in Neurology and Clinical Neurophysiology with a special clinical focus on neuromuscular disorders including ALS. At the basic science level, I have a long-term research interest in the RNA regulation of neuroinflammation and targeting it for therapeutic benefit in the treatment of acute and chronic neurological disorders including neuropathic pain, stroke, spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury and chronic degenerative diseases like ALS. I also have an interest in the peripheral neuromuscular system in ALS and its role in disease pathology and as a potential source for biomarkers to track disease progression.
