Emmanuelle Tiongson

Emmanuelle Tiongson serves as a Clinical Associate Professor in the Department of Neurology and Pediatrics, specializing in clinician education with a focus on pediatric neurological disorders. Her academic role bridges clinical practice and research in neuromuscular and autonomic conditions affecting children.

Dr. Tiongson's research centers on pediatric neuromuscular diseases including myasthenia gravis, acute flaccid myelitis, and genetic neuropathies. She investigates treatment efficacy (such as eculizumab for refractory myasthenia gravis), safety profiles of immunotherapies in Down syndrome regression, and prognostic markers in Duchenne cardiomyopathy. Her work emphasizes clinical translation through multicenter trials and case-based analyses of rare neurological presentations.

Analysis of her publication trends reveals a strong focus on pediatric neuroimmunology since 2016, with recent studies (2023-2024) examining cardiac complications in neuromuscular disorders and novel treatments for autoimmune neurological conditions. Earlier work (2003-2007) explored nicotine receptor pharmacology and genomic evolution, demonstrating a research trajectory shifting from basic neuroscience to specialized pediatric neurological care.
