Specializations
Neurology and Neurodegenerative Disorders
Clinical research activity includes multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease, Dementia with Lewy Bodies, mild cognitive impairment, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, with additional involvement in non-functioning pituitary adenoma and other central nervous system conditions.
- Multiple sclerosis
- Alzheimer’s disease
- Dementia with Lewy Bodies
- Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
The therapeutic focus extends to cognitive decline, demyelinating disease, and symptom-directed neurological care.
Stroke, Headache, and Vascular Neurology
Research interests cover acute ischemic stroke, stroke prevention, atrial fibrillation, venous thromboembolism, and headache disorders including migraine, chronic migraine, cluster headache, and medication overuse headache.
- Acute ischemic stroke
- Atrial fibrillation
- Migraine
- Venous thromboembolism
Additional attention is given to antithrombotic strategies and neurological complications linked to cardiovascular disease.
Inflammatory and Autoimmune Disease
The investigator is involved in studies of Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, eosinophilic esophagitis, primary sclerosing cholangitis, primary biliary cholangitis, and juvenile psoriatic arthritis, reflecting a broad interest in immune-mediated disorders.
- Crohn’s disease
- Ulcerative colitis
- Primary sclerosing cholangitis
- Eosinophilic esophagitis
Therapeutic activity also includes immune thrombocytopenia and other immune system diseases.
Respiratory and Inflammatory Lung Disease
Clinical trial involvement includes chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, progressive pulmonary fibrosis, pulmonary sarcoidosis, and systemic autoimmune rheumatic diseases associated interstitial lung disease.
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
- Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
- Pulmonary sarcoidosis
- Asthma
This area also includes infectious respiratory conditions such as COVID-19 and other viral respiratory tract infections.
Hematology, Oncology, and Cardiometabolic Disease
Research spans chronic lymphocytic leukemia, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, multiple myeloma, breast cancer, urothelial carcinoma, non-small cell lung cancer, and prostate cancer, alongside heart failure, atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and obesity.
- Chronic lymphocytic leukemia
- Breast cancer
- Non-small cell lung cancer
- Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease
Additional therapeutic interests include thromboembolic disease, kidney disease, and metabolic liver disease such as non-alcoholic steatohepatitis.
