Neuroimmunology and Autoimmune Neurology

Neurology Department

Overview

With over 30 years of expertise, the Neuroimmunology & Autoimmune Neurology Division specializes in diagnosing and treating complex immune-mediated inflammatory disorders of the central nervous system (CNS).

Conditions We Treat

Our division specializes in treating the spectrum of autoimmune and paraneoplastic neurological disorders, such as the following:

Multiple sclerosis (MS)
Autoimmune encephalitis
Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD)
Neurosarcoidosis
Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody disease (MOGAD)
Stiff-person syndrome
Myelopathy/transverse myelitis
Central nervous system complications of rheumatologic disease

Our focuses intersect with all traditional neurology subspecialties, including movement disorders, epilepsy, behavioral/cognitive, neuromuscular, autonomic, demyelinating, and neuro-oncologic. See also our Multidisciplinary Sarcoidosis Program.

Faculty & Research

Our Autoimmune Neurology Clinic houses the largest group of both pediatric and adult Autoimmune Neurology Fellowship-trained faculty in the country. It is certified a Center for Comprehensive Care by the National MS Society and a Center for Transverse Myelitis.

Our research focuses include advanced MRI investigations of CNS demyelinating disease, pediatric MS (see usnpmsc.org), and transition of care for young adults. We also run clinical trials.

Education

We proudly foster the next generation of autoimmune neurologists through our two fellowshjp programs, Autoimmune Neurology and MS/Neuroimmunology. Please visit our fellowship pages for more information.
