Summary
- I completed completed Neurology Residency at UCSF in 1995 and then conducted research fellowship in in synaptic plasticity until 1999.
Since then, I have developed far ranging interests in Parkinson’s disease (PD) including: 1) discovery of the risk factors for the development of PD 2) identification of factors that affect PD progression, and 3) improving PD treatments.
My research has included participation in both medical and surgical treatment studies and I have been involved in a study of novel biomarkers for PD. I am an investigator in a several phase 1 studies and one phase 2 gene therapy studies for advanced Parkinson’s disease. I am also studying the relationship of low vitamin B12 status with the development of gait impairment in PD.
My goals are to 1) reduce the incidence of PD, 2) slow its progression when it is diagnosed, and 3) to developed more effective treatments for it.
