Victor Fung

Professor Victor Fung is a leading academic in neurology and motor control at the Sydney Medical School, University of Sydney. He serves as Director of the Movement Disorders Unit at Westmead Hospital and holds prominent roles in the International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society (President) and the Asia Pacific Affairs Committee of the Australian and New Zealand Association of Neurologists. His research focuses on Parkinson's disease, dystonia, tremor, and movement disorder genetics, with over 250 peer-reviewed publications and an h-index of 61.

His work spans

• Clinical trials for Parkinson's treatments (e.g., foslevodopa/foscarbidopa infusion, incobotulinumtoxinA)
• Genetic studies on dystonia and Parkinsonism
• Neurophysiological assessments of tremor and balance
• Development of screening tools for dystonia and Parkinson's complications

Key article trends highlight genetic diversity in dystonia, neuroinflammatory mechanisms in tremor, and behavioral neurology in Parkinson's disease. He contributes to editorial boards of npj Parkinson's Disease, Journal of Clinical Movement Disorders, and Faculty Opinions. While no explicit student lists are provided, his collaborations span global institutions. His clinical work at Westmead Hospital addresses device-assisted therapies and complex movement disorders.
