Tuhin Virmani received a combined M.D./Ph.D. at UT Southwestern Medical School in Dallas, Texas. His doctoral thesis explored the physiologic mechanisms of synaptic chemical neurotransmission. After neurology residency at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri, he completed a clinical-research fellowship in movement disorders at Columbia University in New York. At Columbia he became interested in studying the causes of freezing of gait in Parkinson disease and he completed a clinicopathologic study under the mentorship of Drs. Stanley Fahn and Jean-Paul Vonsattel. Dr. Virmani has continued to focus his research on gait in neurodegenerative disorders since joining the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences in 2013, where he is co-director of the Movement Disorders program. He runs a state-of-the-art Gait Lab with the goal of developing predictive algorithms for pre-symptomatic detection gait impairment that would allow development and testing of therapeutic options for patients with these debilitati
