Dr. Keilson's research centers on autoimmune neurological disorders, particularly the application of immunomodulatory therapies like plasmapheresis and intravenous immunoglobulin for conditions such as acute disseminated encephalomyelitis. His work bridges clinical neurology and immunology, with emphasis on therapeutic safety and efficacy in inflammatory CNS conditions.

Publication analysis reveals consistent focus on combination immunotherapies: his 2006 study pioneered methylprednisolone/IVIG/plasmapheresis regimens for acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, while his 2023 research identified transaminitis as a novel adverse effect of intravenous immunoglobulin therapy, demonstrating evolving expertise in treatment complication management.
