About
Dr. Nathoo completed her BSc, MD, and PhD in Neuroscience at the University of Calgary. Her PhD thesis used susceptibility weighted MRI in the EAE mouse model of multiple sclerosis (MS) under the supervision of Drs. Jeff F. Dunn and V. Wee Yong. She completed her Neurology residency training at the University of Alberta. She subsequently completed a 2-year MS fellowship at Mayo Clinic (Rochester), receiving additional clinical training in MS, neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD), myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease (MOGAD), neurosarcoidosis, histiocytosis involving the nervous system, and undifferentiated neuroinflammatory diseases. She is currently a neurologist and researcher with specialization in MS and neuroimmunology at the University of Alberta. Her research interest lies in improving our understanding of how MS differs in diverse ethnic groups using clinical data and advanced MRI methods. She also has both clinical and research interest in histiocytosis involving the nervous system. She is a member of the Editorial Board for the Journal of Clinical Neuroscience.
