Professional background
Dimitri Kullmann is a consultant neurologist at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery, and professor of neurology at the UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology.
He trained in Oxford and London, and is a Fellow of the Academy of Medical Sciences and of the Royal Society. He specialises in neurocritical care and myasthenia gravis.
His research interests centre on mechanisms underlying normal and abnormal circuit function in the brain, inherited and acquired disorders of ion channels (channelopathies) and gene therapy for epilepsy.
