Personal profile
Research Interests
Sukhvir is a consultant paediatric neurologist and Wellcome Trust Clinical Research Career Development Fellow. Her primary research and clinical interests are in neuro-immunological diseases of childhood, including autoimmune encephalitis and epilepsy, and acute demyelinating syndromes such as multiple sclerosis. In the laboratory, Sukhvir employs in vivo and in vitro electrophysiological techniques to understand the pathophysiological and epileptogenic actions of human-derived neuronal autoantibodies in rodent models, and the effects of novel treatments. In the clinic, Sukhvir is one of two consultants leading a highly specialised NHS England commissioned service of paediatric onset multiple sclerosis. This clinical role encompasses her clinical research into the use of advanced neurophysiology techniques, i.e., Magnetoencephalography (MEG), to help predict long-term outcomes in children affected with neuro-immunological disorders.
