Specializations

Pediatric Neuropsychiatry and neurodevelopmental disorders

Clinical research activity includes conditions managed within pediatric neuropsychiatry, with attention to epilepsy, developmental and epileptic encephalopathies, autism-related neurobehavioral syndromes, and other disorders affecting cognition, behavior, and neurological development.

  • Childhood absence epilepsy
  • Dravet syndrome
  • Refractory focal onset epilepsy
  • Developmental and epileptic encephalopathies
  • Neurocognitive disorders

Interest extends to therapeutic strategies for seizure control, long-term neurological follow-up, and interventions aimed at improving neurobehavioral outcomes in children and adolescents.

Autoimmune and inflammatory disease

The investigator is involved in trials across autoimmune diseases and chronic inflammatory conditions, including lupus, myasthenia gravis, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic sclerosis, and idiopathic inflammatory myopathies.

  • Systemic lupus erythematosus
  • Lupus nephritis
  • Generalized myasthenia gravis
  • Systemic sclerosis
  • Idiopathic inflammatory myopathy

Therapeutic interest includes immune modulation for organ-specific and systemic disease manifestations, with emphasis on controlling inflammation and preserving function.

Oncology and hematologic malignancies

Research involvement spans a broad oncologic portfolio, with particular activity in breast cancer, ovarian cancer, lung cancer, lymphoma, and other solid tumors and blood cancers.

  • Breast cancer
  • Ovarian cancer
  • Non-small cell lung cancer
  • Chronic lymphocytic leukemia
  • Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma

Therapeutic focus includes targeted treatment approaches, immune-based oncology, and precision strategies for advanced, recurrent, and treatment-resistant malignancies.

Respiratory, gastrointestinal, and hepatic disorders

Clinical trial activity also covers chronic diseases of the airways, digestive system, and liver, including asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis.

  • Severe asthma
  • Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
  • Crohn’s disease
  • Ulcerative colitis
  • Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis

Interest is directed toward therapies for inflammatory control, symptom reduction, and prevention of progressive tissue damage in chronic organ disease.

Neuromuscular and rare genetic diseases

The investigator is also active in studies of rare neurological and genetic conditions, including spinal muscular atrophy, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, myotonic dystrophy, Rett syndrome, and Angelman syndrome.

  • Spinal muscular atrophy
  • Duchenne muscular dystrophy
  • Myotonic dystrophy
  • Rett syndrome
  • Angelman syndrome

Therapeutic interest includes disease-modifying approaches for inherited neuromuscular impairment and long-term management of rare pediatric-onset disorders.
