I am a trained clinical scientist with a special interest in neuromuscular and motility disorders. As a clinical investigator, I previously worked on clinical/translational projects funded by EU Commission, NIH and industry sponsors which studied the intrinsic and extrinsic neuronal control of the gut functions. My research interests are focused in neurons and to study how various pathophysiological mechanisms leading them to generate myriad of symptoms. Main goal in these research activities is to elucidate how neuronal degeneration, be it due to aging process, injury or other pathological mechanism, affect the neurophysiology and subsequent brain organ communication. Next, I want to understand how the neuromodulation would influence neuroplasticity and thereby influence the symptom and neuronal physiology. I am currently doing postdoctoral work at Augusta University to identify the patterns of nerve conduction using neurophysiological methods such as cortical and motor evoked potentials and use electromagnetic field to stimulate the peripheral nerves as a potential therapy for motor dysfunction. Using the knowledge, experience and expertise, I am constantly engaged in generating ideas to explore and develop novel treatment strategies using neuromodulation and neurophysiological methods to provide answers to many unanswered questions within the field of neuroscience and contribute to advance the clinical care and management of patients affected by the neurological diseases.
