Great time at #THIA2026
presenting research on digital phenotyping & sociotechnical data integration in neuroscience with @JFRousseau_MD from @UTSWNeurology! It was a blast to reconnect with fellow colleagues from @CIC_UTSW and the IMAGINe Lab @UTSWMedCenter
We are excited to welcome Dr. Asuncion to #TeamNeuro. Her training spans multiple areas of neurology, and she joins our faculty as an Asst. Professor in the Movement Disorders, General Neurology, and Cerebrovascular Diseases & Stroke sections.
A warm welcome to Jay Lusk, M.D., who joins our Stroke Section! As a preventive medicine physician, he brings expertise on reducing risk & improving outcomes. And he's already making an impact. Catch him at our upcoming Brain Summit.

Welcome to #TeamNeuro, Luke Bartelt, Ph.D.! Dr. Bartelt joined our Movement Disorders section earlier this year. His lab is investigating the epigenetic drivers of cerebellar neurodegeneration and advancing gene therapy and imaging approaches for neurological disease.
What's new in stroke prevention?
👉 Lipoprotein(a) and ApoB
👉 Updated hypertension & lipid guidelines
👉 Afib management
👉 Cardiac monitoring & ablation strategies
These cardiovascular factors continue to shape stroke risk & prevention efforts.

Congrats to Sonali Weerasinghe for recognition in APP leadership & for her community service nomination. Shoutout to Samantha McCormick, Joy Ramos, & Sarah Smith, & to Dr. Greenberg, named faculty CHAMPion. Thanks to Drs. Tardo, Okuda, Harvey, & Sirsi for championing APP success
What advances in neurology are changing clinical practice? Join colleagues from across the region for Brain Summit 2026, a day of discussion on stroke and brain health, neuroimmunology, movement disorders, and more. Take a peek at the program & register: bit.ly/4AiC7Jt
#UTSWNeuroGR: Aerospace neurologist Jonathan Clark, M.D., explored the neurological challenges of human spaceflight, from motion sickness, cognitive changes to SANS & deep-space radiation. As missions to the Moon & Mars advance, understanding brain adaptation is critical.

“The goal is always precision medicine,” Dr. Nguyen said. “We’re trying to understand why some children relapse while others don’t, so we can identify biological signatures that predict future disease activity.”
