Sam I. Hooshmand

Dr. Sam I. Hooshmand is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Neurology at the Medical College of Wisconsin, with leadership roles including Associate Program Director for the Neurology Residency and Neuro-Immunology/MS Fellowship, and Phase 2 Director of Neurology Education. He is an active member of the Wisconsin Institute of NeuroScience (WINS), facilitating collaborative neuroscience research.

His research focuses on Multiple Sclerosis, Neuro-Immunology, and autoimmune disorders such as Leukoencephalopathies, Neuromyelitis Optica, and Sarcoidosis. Dr. Hooshmand investigates clinical manifestations, genetic factors, and therapeutic strategies for demyelinating diseases, emphasizing translational outcomes.

Recent publications (2019–2025) reflect a multidisciplinary approach, spanning neuroimaging in autoimmune encephalitis, genetic variants in movement disorders, epigenetic mechanisms in hematologic malignancies, and innovative management strategies for Multiple Sclerosis-related fatigue. His work consistently bridges clinical neurology with molecular diagnostics and patient-centered care.

Dr. Hooshmand is open to research collaborations and contributes to advancing neuro-education through his institutional leadership roles.
