Dan Tong Jia

Dan Tong Jia is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Neurology at the Feinberg School of Medicine, Northwestern University, specializing in Hospital Neurology, Transition of Care, Neuroimmunology, and Demyelinating Disorders.

His research integrates Neuroimmunology, Neuroinfectious Diseases, and neuroHIV with a focus on autoimmune conditions like GFAP astrocytopathy and MOG antibody disease. He examines sociodemographic determinants of clinical outcomes, mental health in aging HIV populations, and systemic healthcare disparities through global health lenses.

Recent publications reveal a clinical-translational trajectory examining rare neuroinflammatory mimics of infection, multicenter epidemiological analyses of neuroinfectious outcomes, and structural barriers in neuroHIV care. His work bridges hospital neurology with global health equity, emphasizing vulnerable populations in Peru and similar resource-limited settings.
