Overview
I am a neurologist who specializes in inflammatory disorders of the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves. I treat several conditions, including multiple sclerosis, autoimmune encephalitis, and immune-related toxicity to cancer treatments.
I conduct clinical and translational research on the mechanisms and management of side effects to cancer immune checkpoint inhibitors and CAR T-cell therapy.
