My bio
I am an assistant professor with the department of neurology at the University of Florida College of Medicine. Additionally, I am the William T. and Janice M. Neely professor for research in multiple sclerosis. I attended medical school at the Christian-Albrecht University of Kiel in Germany, with one year spent at the University of Murcia in Spain. I graduated with my medical degree in 2012, then pursued my postgraduate neurology training in Germany at the University Hospital of Schleswig-Holstein.
After my preliminary year at SUNY Downstate Medical Center in New York, I completed my neurology residency at the University of Florida. The following year, I finished my clinical neuroimmunology fellowship at the University of California San Diego.
I am board-certified in neurology by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology, and I am licensed to practice medicine in both Florida and California. My clinical and research interests include multiple sclerosis, neurosarcoidosis, neuroimmunology, neuromyelitis optica, MOG antibody disease and autoimmune encephalitis. I have contributed to many publications, as well as speak German, English and Spanish.
