Professional Interests
I am a movement disorders neurologist working on translating basic science insights and bedside observations towards advancing the understanding of pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases. My clinical work involves characterization of phenotypic traits in inherited diseases and to test potential therapeutics in clinical trials: focusing on disease modifying therapies, seeking to slow or stop progression in Parkinson's disease, atypical parkinsonisms, Huntington's disease, dystonia, and other movement disorders.
