Research Focus

As a Professor of Neurology at Boston University and former Chief of the Combined Harvard and BU Neurology Service at the Boston VA Medical Center, my research focus was primarily on Electromyography (a test of nerve and muscle disease), Neuromuscular Transmission disorders, Reflex Studies, Computer Application in Neurology, Internet Computer Programming and Software Development and TeleMedicine. In my capacity as Research Professor at the Boston University NeuroMuscular Research Center, I was the recipient of eight grants on Neuromuscular disorders for a total of $6,613,851 since 1985.
