Summary

  • I am a board-certified Neurologist, Neurointensivist, and Neuroendovascular Surgeon with research expertise in the pathophysiology of subarachnoid hemorrhage and acute ischemic stroke. My goal is to synergize my clinical training and research interests; to gain in depth understanding of subarachnoid hemorrhage and ischemic stroke and to better treat various other devastating neurological diseases.
    I strive to improve patient outcomes by early identification of novel treatment targets and enable innovations in precision medicine.
