About
Biography
My clinical and research focus is on multiple sclerosis (MS) and immune-mediated neurological disorders.
My research aims to advance understanding of disease mechanisms and to develop new therapeutic strategies for MS and related neuroimmunological conditions. I serve as principal investigator for multiple industry-sponsored and federally funded clinical trials in MS, autoimmune encephalitis, and neuroimmunology.
Beyond MS, I have a growing interest in neuro-rheumatological disorders, neurosarcoidosis, and neurological complications of immune-based therapies, including immune checkpoint inhibitors and CAR T-cell therapy. My goal is to bridge clinical care and translational research—advancing the science of neuroimmunology while improving the lives of patients through evidence-based, compassionate care.
