Dr. Corneliu Luca is Assistant Professor of Neurology at University of Miami, Director of the Movement Disorders Fellowship Program. He obtained an MD degree at Carol Davila University of Medicine in Bucharest and PhD in molecular biology at University of Miami. He has fellowship training in movement disorders land currently seeing patients with Parkinson's disease, Essential tremor, ataxias, gait disorders and Deep Brain Stimulation. He is involved in clinical and translational research in Parkinson’ disease. He is principal investigator in a clinical trial that aims to identify new strategies for gait dysfunction in Parkinson’s Disease. He is the recipient of the Clinical Research Training Fellowship from the American Academy of Neurology and actively involved in clinical research at the Movement Disorders Center at the University of Miami. Neuro-modulation approaches for gait disorders are developed in order to achieve functional improvement in patients with PD. Deep Brain Stimulation(DBS) and trans-cranial Direct Current Stimulation are used for better functional outcomes in patients with walking impairment.
