https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2054-1915Suneil Kalia, MD, PhD, FRCS(C), is a scientist at Krembil Research Institute and Assistant Professor in Neurosurgery at the University of Toronto. His research laboratory focuses on understanding molecular mechanisms of protein homeostasis in neurodegeneration and on establishing model systems to study protein function in Parkinson’s disease (PD). As a neurosurgeon his clinical focus is on the surgical management of movement disorders, particularly PD.
Dr. Kalia received his BSc at McGill University and his MD and PhD degrees from the University of Toronto. In 2006 he entered the neurosurgery residency program at University of Toronto, during which he completed a postdoctoral research fellowship at the Massachusetts General Hospital Institute for Neurodegenerative Disease at Harvard University. After obtaining his FRCS(C) in neurosurgery, he undertook subspecialty training in stereotactic and functional neurosurgery at the Toronto Western Hospital.
His team is actively working on developing novel biological therapies that are designed to slow or halt the progression of neurodegeneration in PD.
