Michael Rubin

Michael Rubin, M.D., C.M., serves as Clinical Professor of Neurology at Weill Cornell Medical College, Cornell University, and practices as an Attending Neurologist at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital. His clinical expertise spans neuromuscular medicine, neurophysiology, and electromyography with specialization in peripheral neuropathy, myasthenia gravis, and neuromuscular diseases.

Education

• B.S., McGill University (Canada), 1978
• M.D., C.M., McGill University Faculty of Medicine (Canada), 1982

Dr. Rubin's research focuses on autoimmune neurological disorders, HIV-associated neuropathies, and electrophysiological diagnostics. His work integrates clinical trials for nerve regeneration therapies and diagnostic criteria development for conditions like amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and myasthenia gravis, emphasizing translational applications in neuromuscular disease management. Current investigations explore neuroimmunology mechanisms in paraneoplastic syndromes and chemotherapy-induced neuropathies.

Analysis of his 15 most recent publications reveals dominant themes in autoimmune neuromuscular disorders (35%), HIV-related neuropathies (25%), and electrophysiological diagnostics (20%), with growing emphasis on therapeutic interventions for neuropathic pain and surgical outcomes in nerve disorders.

Scientific Awards

• American Diabetes Association Charles H. Best Medal (1994)
• Fred Plum & Jerome B. Posner Teaching Award (1995-96)
• Weill Cornell Teaching Excellence Awards (2000-2001)
• American Academy of Neurology Recognition Certificate (2002)
• New York Super Doctor designation (2011-2013)

Dr. Rubin has received multiple teaching honors reflecting his dedication to neurology education, including mentorship of neurology residents and fellows. While no active grants are documented in institutional databases, his external collaborations with Merck & Co. include professional services and research interests in neuromuscular therapeutics. He directs clinical operations at the Neuromuscular Center, 520 East 70th Street, New York, overseeing comprehensive diagnostic and treatment protocols for complex neuromuscular conditions.
