Research

I have published and presented my work on both national and international platforms. My areas of research include cerebrovascular disorders, Susac syndrome, the treatment effect of multiple disease-modifying therapies on MRI metrics in patients with multiple sclerosis and neuroimaging. I also participate in quality improvement projects to improve stroke core measures and quality of care.

 

During my vascular neurology fellowship, I served as a principal investigator for the study “Retrospective chart review in Susac syndrome patients” at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine and continue to collaborate with the project.

 

I also served as principal investigator for the study “Ocrelizumab in participants with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis” at Florida Atlantic University. I presented our research at the American Academy of Neurology annual meeting held in Boston in April 2023.
