Biography

Dr. Lucia Moiola is a neurologist at the Neurology Unit of IRCCS Ospedale San Raffaele, directed by Professor Massimo Filippi.

She graduated in Medicine and Surgery in 1989 from the University of Milan, where she also specialized in Neurology in 1996. She then completed a Postdoctoral Fellowship in immunological research on Myasthenia Gravis at the University of Minnesota, USA, and later earned a PhD in Neuroscience in Italy.

Dr. Moiola is an expert in multiple sclerosis in both adults and children and coordinates the multiple sclerosis center. She manages a dedicated space for the pregnancy project for women with multiple sclerosis, known as "Il Punto Rosa."

She is also experienced in autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation as a therapeutic option and is involved in the diagnostic and therapeutic management of other inflammatory diseases of the central nervous system, with a focus on Neurolupus, for which she participates in a multidisciplinary clinic. She is an expert in neuromyelitis optica (NMOsd) and anti-MOG diseases.

Furthermore, she is involved in the diagnostic assessment and differential diagnosis of central nervous system inflammatory diseases versus central nervous system lymphomas through a multidisciplinary clinic.

She is interested in studying the infectious risk in patients with multiple sclerosis treated with immunomodulating and immunosuppressive therapies and its prevention. In the research field, she is involved in multiple sclerosis research projects and clinical trials from phase I to phase IV. She is also active in studying autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for multiple sclerosis and has participated in a phase I protocol on neural stem cell transplantation for multiple sclerosis. She will also be actively involved in a phase II protocol on neural stem cells and multiple sclerosis.

An author and co-author of numerous publications, she regularly participates in national and international conferences in the field.
