Abstract: 

About Dr. Patel: Dr. Neha Patel is in her final year of Neurology residency training at the University of Toronto. She will be starting her Neuromuscular Medicine Fellowship in July 2023 at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre with Dr. Lorne Zinman and Dr. Agessandro Abrahao. She has always had an avid interest in Neuromuscular Medicine and over the last 9 years has participated in clinical, basic sciences and electrophysiologic research in myasthenia gravis, Pompe Disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis respectively. She hopes to continue to enhance and refine her clinical approach to Neuromuscular Medicine throughout her fellowship training, and also participate in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis research, a devastating condition which currently lacks disease-modifying treatments. Outside of work she is an avid marathon runner, scuba diver and enjoys exploring new restaurants and cuisines.
