Parneet Kaur Grewal

Parneet Kaur Grewal, MBBS, is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Neurology at the College of Medicine, Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC), specializing in stroke care and post-stroke complications.

Her educational background includes:

• MBBS from Adesh Institute of Medical Sciences and Research (2012)
• Internship at Adesh Institute of Medical Sciences and Research (2012) and University of Kentucky Hospital (2016)
• Residency in Neurology at University of Kentucky Hospital (2019)
• Fellowship at Rush Medical College of Rush University Medical Center (2020)

Dr. Grewal's research centers on stroke pathophysiology and recovery, with emphasis on post-stroke apathy and spasticity. She pioneers investigations into accelerated repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) for apathy treatment and develops monitoring frameworks for spasticity progression. Her work addresses critical gaps in stroke rehabilitation where FDA-approved interventions are lacking, focusing on improving functional independence and quality of life through translational clinical trials.

As principal investigator, Dr. Grewal leads multiple NIH-funded multicenter trials including the FASTEST study for hemorrhagic stroke and dual rTMS trials for post-stroke apathy (PRO00126436 and PRO00144684). She collaborates with national research networks and coordinates with study teams across 100+ international sites, securing substantial grant funding for acute stroke interventions and long-term recovery mechanisms.

Her research operations are embedded within MUSC's Stroke Division, where she directs clinical trial execution with coordinators Caitlan LeMatty and Lisa McTeague, maintaining active partnerships with the NIH StrokeNet consortium and international stroke research consortia.
