Dr. Alexander Shtilbans is a board certified neurologist whose clinical interest lies in the area of neurodegenerative diseases, particularly Parkinsons disease. He began his career as a molecular biologist in Neuroscience and, after obtaining his Ph.D., transitioned into clinical Neurology in order to work with patients and gain a better understanding of the clinical course of these diseases.
As a physician scientist, Dr. Shtilbans is interested in developing new therapies that will slow down the progression of neurodegenerative diseases. His goal is to better understand molecular mechanisms of the neurodegenerative processes by being actively involved in both clinical and basic science research.
