My research interests

  • Use of imaging methods (Optical Coherence Tomography, OCT and magnetic resonance imaging, MRI) to understand and quantify neurodegenerative processes in neuroinflammatory diseases
  • Development of patient-friendly retinal markers of progression in multiple sclerosis (MS) and other neurological diseases
  • Investigation of the visual pathway as a model of neurodegeneration
  • Migraine and central pain (imaging and other biomarkers, treatment response)
  • Multidisciplinary therapeutic approaches in MS (e.g., music therapy)
