Research Interests

My interests are in clinical neurology and clinical research with a speciality in movement disorders. The latter includes experimental therapies, clinical phenomenology and natural history. I have participate in many multi-center trials of parkinsonian syndromes including progressive supranuclear palsy and multi-system atrophy with ongoing participation in the Dystonia Study Group. I am also very devoted to teaching at all levels including medical students, residents, fellows and practitioners. Other clinical and research interests include eye movements, dizziness, gait disorders and general neurology.
