Primary Axis: 
Neurosciences
Research Focus: 

My clinical research work is focused on multiple sclerosis and the late effects of poliomyelitis, including post-poliomyelitis syndrome. I have been conducting a study on fatigue in multiple sclerosis and post-poliomyelitis syndrome, evaluating multiple potential biopsychosocial predictors for fatigue. As an extension of this work, I am now conducting a study on sleep abnormalities in multiple sclerosis patients.Multiple sclerosis, Post-poliomyelitis syndrome, Fatigue, Sleep abnormalities, Predictors, Osteoporosis, Sleep disordered breathing, Biopsychosocial correlates, Magnetic resonance spectroscopy, Cytokines.
