Background

Neurologist Emile Moukheiber cares for patients diagnosed with movement disorders such as tremors, Parkinson’s disease, dystonia, atypical Parkinsonism and ataxia. He specializes in helping patients with these conditions manage their symptoms with advanced therapies, including deep brain stimulation, MRI-guided focused ultrasound and medication infusions. Additionally, he provides botulinum toxin treatment for various disorders including dystonia, tremors and stiff person syndrome.

Moukheiber earned his medical degree from the American University of Beirut Faculty of Medicine and completed a residency in neurology at Tufts Medical Center. He completed a fellowship in movement disorders at Johns Hopkins, where he remains as a faculty member. Moukheiber also has an interest in how technology can help bridge the gap between tertiary care available in well-funded facilities and the dearth of such care in underserved and remote areas.

His research involves longitudinal natural history and biomarker clinical trials, including the landmark Parkinson’s Progression Markers Initiative study and Dystonia Coalition projects. He also works on industry-sponsored therapeutic clinical trials.
