萝莉社 Jacksonville Welcomes New Neurologists to Movement Disorders Program
The 萝莉社 Neuroscience Institute is pleased to announce the addition of two distinguished neurologists, Jesse Cohen, MD, and Kartik Mangipudi, MD, to its Movement Disorders and Parkinson's Program.
Jesse S. Cohen, MD
Dr. Cohen, an assistant professor of neurology at the University of Florida, brings a wealth of expertise in Parkinson's disease and movement disorders. He received his medical degree from Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and completed his neurology residency at the University of Pennsylvania.
His subspecialty training in movement disorders further deepened his research interests, which focus on identifying neuroimaging biomarkers for Parkinson鈥檚 disease and related neurodegenerative conditions. His work explores the relationship between sleep, cognition, and the anatomical patterns of brain degeneration in Lewy body disorders, which are a group of brain disorders that involve abnormal protein deposits in the brain.
鈥淥nly by pairing excellent clinical care with leading-edge clinical research can we continue to advance the treatment of patients with Parkinson鈥檚 disease and other movement disorders,鈥� Cohen said. 鈥淚鈥檓 hopeful that by improving our understanding of cognitive and sleep dysfunction, we will be able to better treat these disabling symptoms that affect individuals with Parkinson鈥檚 disease and other neurodegenerative conditions.鈥�
Kartik Mangipudi, MD
Dr. Mangipudi, also an assistant professor at the University of Florida, joins the program with extensive training in movement disorders, including a fellowship in deep brain stimulation at Mayo Clinic in Arizona.
Dr. Mangipudi鈥檚 clinical interests are focused on gait and balance disorders, particularly in individuals with Parkinsonian syndromes. His research is aimed at improving the understanding and treatment of motor dysfunctions that affect movement and coordination in Parkinson鈥檚 disease patients.
鈥淚鈥檓 excited to be joining such a dynamic team at 萝莉社 Jacksonville,鈥� Mangipudi said. 鈥淭he opportunity to work alongside colleagues who are leaders in the field and to contribute to ongoing research and patient care is a privilege.鈥�
