Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, Dr. Koralnik has leveraged his expertise from the AIDS epidemic to offer insight and conduct research regarding how COVID-19 affects the nervous system.  

His research team published the first study on neurological complications in hospitalized COVID-19 patients in the US. In May 2020, Dr. Koralnik also created one of the first Neuro COVID-19 clinics in the country where he and his team investigate, diagnose and manage neurological symptoms of COVID-19 long haulers.  He will discuss his cutting-edge research, and how everyone can become part of the team and join the fight against COVID-19.
