Research summary
AI-generated

Aristide Merola's research focuses on movement disorders, especially Parkinson's disease, with particular attention to deep brain stimulation (DBS) technologies, gene therapy approaches like AAV2-GDNF, and device-based treatments for advanced disease. Work also spans related clinical areas such as autonomic dysfunction, tremor diagnosis using smartphones/machine learning, and cost-effectiveness or comparative-effectiveness studies of therapies for Parkinson's disease and treatment-resistant depression. Students would encounter a mix of clinical trials, technology evaluation, and health economics research within neurology.
