S H Subramony M.D. My name is Sub Subramony, MD, and I am currently Professor of Neurology and Pediatrics at University of Florida College of Medicine. I serve as the director of the adult MDA Clinic as well as Co director of the Ataxia Center of Excellence at the Norman Fixel Institute for Neurological Diseases. I received my medical degree from Delhi University in 1971 (Maulana Azad Medical College) and completed my neurology residency in 1978 and my neuromuscular medicine fellowship in 1980 at the Cleveland Clinic. Subsequent to that, I joined the Neurology faculty at the University of Mississippi medical Center where I directed the ataxia Clinic as well as the MDA Clinic and was named the Billy Guyton Professor of Neurology. For 2 years I was the Charlotte Warmoth Professor of Neurology at the University of Texas Medical School, Galveston. Since 2009, I have been at the University of Florida college of Medicine. Since the 1980s, have been involved in studying several genetic neuromuscular disorders including cerebellar ataxias and muscular dystrophies. I was involved as the clinical lead in identifying several genetic defects such as those in spinocerebellar ataxia types 1, 3 and 6. I also studied families with muscular disorders such as channelopathies, central core myopathy and Bethelm myopathy. Subsequent to that, I have been involved in translational research developing outcome measures and biomarkers for many of these rare genetic disorders and more recently have been fortunate to participate in many first in human trials of innovative interventions in these diseases. I have created a Southeastern hub for many international collaborative efforts in Friefreich ataxia, Spinocerebellar ataxias (SCAs), myotonic dystrophy and Facio-scapulohumeral dystrophy (FSHD). I have more than 200 publications in peer reviewed journals, have given numerous invited talks nationally and internationally and am a founding member of the Center for Neurogenetics at the University of Florida. During my free time, I travel to New York City frequently to see my children. I enjoy hiking, reading books on history, and listening to classical music. |
