Deepti Nagesh

Deepti Nagesh is a Clinical Assistant Professor of Neurology at the University of Southern California, specializing in pediatric neurology with a focus on autoimmune diseases, genetic disorders, and immunotherapy applications. Her work bridges clinical practice and research, addressing complex conditions such as Down syndrome regression disorder, moyamoya disease, and ischemic stroke in children.

Her research interests prominently feature neuroimmunology, genetic syndromes, and pediatric neurovascular disorders. She investigates the interplay between autoimmunity and genetic abnormalities, particularly in Down syndrome patients, exploring therapeutic interventions like anti-CD20 therapy and intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG).

Her publications highlight trends in pediatric neurology, including immunotherapy safety, genetic stroke mechanisms, and clinical biomarkers for neurodevelopmental regression. She has contributed to understanding moyamoya vasculopathy in genetic syndromes and iatrogenic movement disorders.
