Majaz Moonis

Majaz Moonis, MD, is a Professor in the Department of Neurology at UMass Chan Medical School and serves as the Director of Stroke Services and the Stroke Prevention Program. His research focuses on stroke, dementia, and related areas such as outcome research on vascular endothelium interventions, health care disparities, genetic markers in cryptogenic stroke, clinical trials in acute stroke treatment, and data mining in sleep disorders.

• Education:
  • BS in Biology, University of Delhi
  • MBBS in Medicine and Surgery, University of Delhi

Dr. Moonis's research spans several interrelated domains: outcome research on vascular endothelium interventions in stroke and Alzheimer’s disease, health care disparities across race, age, and gender in stroke and dementia, genetic markers in cryptogenic stroke for sub-classification, clinical trials in acute stroke and prevention, and data mining in sleep-related disorders. His work addresses critical gaps in stroke outcome prediction, anticoagulation therapy risks, and telemedicine applications.

Publication Trends: Over the past 25 years, Dr. Moonis has published extensively in Neurology and Vascular Diseases, with recent emphasis on statins in stroke and hemorrhage, smartwatch technology for atrial fibrillation, and leukoaraiosis in stroke outcomes. His studies often examine healthcare utilization, diagnostic accuracy, and multimorbidity effects in stroke patients.

Collaborations and Networks: Dr. Moonis collaborates with researchers like Nils Henninger, David McManus, and Brian Silver, focusing on stroke, vascular neurology, and cardio-neurology intersections. He is connected to networks analyzing stroke pathophysiology, telemedicine, and clinical decision-making in acute care.
