At the outset of my career as a researcher and clinician, I investigated and treated difficult childhood and adult neuromuscular disorders. I have always been intrigued by inflammatory immunologic disorders that impact on the nervous system. I returned to New York University to obtain a Master Degree in Public Health (MPH) followed by a Master Degree of Science (MS) in Epidemiology at Columbia’s Mailman School of Public Health, and a doctoral degree (DrPH) in health policy and management at the City University Graduate School of Public Health, to establish myself as an authority in the study of population health prevention and research.
