Abdul Latif Alkhal serves as an Adjunct Professor of Clinical Medicine in the Department of Medicine at Weill Cornell Medical College, Cornell University, a position held since 2020. His clinical and research activities focus on neurological manifestations of infectious diseases within Middle Eastern populations, particularly through Qatar-based medical initiatives.

• M.B.,B.Ch. from Royal College of Surgeons (Ireland), 1989

Dr. Alkhal's research centers on neurotropical infectious diseases with emphasis on parasitic and viral central nervous system infections. His work investigates epidemiological patterns, clinical presentations, and treatment outcomes of conditions like cerebral schistosomiasis and viral CNS infections in Qatari populations, bridging tropical medicine and neurology. This specialized focus addresses critical gaps in regional infectious disease management while contributing to global understanding of neurological complications in parasitic and viral illnesses.

His 2018-2019 publications demonstrate concentrated research on central nervous system infections, revealing strong regional patterns in Qatar through case series analysis and epidemiological studies. The work highlights distinctive clinical manifestations of parasitic neurotropical diseases and viral CNS infections, emphasizing diagnostic challenges and outcome variations in Middle Eastern contexts. These studies collectively establish foundational knowledge for managing neurological complications in tropical infectious disease settings.
