I’m a neurologist with a strong interest in Movement Disorders and Huntington’s disease in particular. My research activities are linked to my clinical activities . In 2020 I finished my PhD thesis: PhD thesis: Controversies and pitfalls in diagnosing Huntington’s Disease. Currently our Huntington’s Disease Expertise Center participates in international and national clinical research such as Enroll-HD and PROOF-HD.
