Dr Ai-Lan Nguyen
Neurologist & Postdoctoral Researcher (MS & Neuroimmunology)
MBBS, BMedSc, FRACP, PhD
a little bit about me
I am a neurologist at the Royal Melbourne Hospital with subspecialist experience in neuroimmunological disorders such as multiple sclerosis (MS) and neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD).
I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Clinical Outcomes Research Unit (CORe), University of Melbourne. My research interests involve investigating prediction markers, the utility of volumetric MRI and the role of pregnancy in patients with MS.
