Rhonda Voskuhl, M.D.

Biography

Dr. Voskuhl is the Director of the UCLA MS Program, holds the Jack H. Skirball Chair in MS, and is a Professor in the UCLA Dept. of Neurology. She has received national and international awards for her research and has continuous funding for over 20 years. Professor Voskuhl uses a “Bedside to Bench to Bedside” approach, basing reserach on clinical observations, understanding them in the lab, then designing novel clincal trials. She sees MS patients in the neurology clinic and mentors at the postdoctoral, graduate, and undergradate levels.
