About
Biography
I joined The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center as an assistant professor, and I currently serve as a clinical associate professor in the Department of Neurology. I am a Fellow of both the American Academy of Neurology and the American Neurological Association.
My research focuses on improving the diagnosis, advancing the treatments and developing therapies for genetic cerebellar ataxias, PLS, HSP and other rare neurogenetic disorders. Neurogenetic disorders often have no established cure, and even diagnosing such disorders can be a challenge that is frustrating for patients.
I have contributed to characterizing rodent models of SPG6-HSP and participated in clinical research projects on PLS and other rare conditions. Through collaborative efforts, my teams and I published diagnostic guidelines for PLS and a recommended clinical scale to measure disease severity.
