Research Interests
A participant in a number of investigator and industry initiated clinical trials, Dr. Rammohan’s main research interest is in understanding the pathogenesis and treatment of
multiple sclerosis (MS). In particular, he has been involved with understanding mechanisms of fatigue, and designing treatments for this disabling symptom. Magnetic resonance imaging, specifically, imaging MS brain abnormalities at Ultra high field strength (8 tesla) and investigating novel techniques with conventional imaging are areas of additional interest. His contributions include developing novel and simple techniques for examination of abnormalities in the cerebrospinal fluid in MS. At a basic level, his interests include exploring autoimmunity to ion channels in MS and exploring mechanisms of action of the presently used disease modifying therapies in multiple sclerosis. -
