Peter Sguigna

Dr. Peter Sguigna is a Professor in the Department of Neurology at UT Southwestern Medical Center, joining in 2020. His clinical practice focuses on multiple sclerosis (MS) and neuro-immunological disorders, particularly those with prominent visual symptoms. He leads clinical trials for MS treatments and utilizes advanced diagnostic imaging techniques to improve disease characterization.

His research integrates neuro-ophthalmology with neuroimmunology, emphasizing non-invasive technologies like optical coherence tomography (OCT) and pupillometry. The Sguigna Lab explores visual system dysfunction in neurological diseases, aiming to improve diagnostic precision and therapeutic strategies. Collaborative efforts span regulatory navigation, data integrity, and translational research.

Dr. Sguigna actively educates medical students, residents, and fellows, fostering hands-on training in both clinical and research settings. His work bridges basic science and clinical practice, with a focus on MS pathophysiology, symptom management, and innovative diagnostic tools.

Recent publications highlight AI-driven diagnostics, clinical trial designs for immunotherapies, and neuroimaging biomarkers. His team’s translational approach addresses unmet needs in MS care, from symptom analysis to drug development.
