David S. Younger
David S. Younger MD DrPH, MPH MS, Affiliate Professor of Neuroscience at City University of New York Medical School and Attending Physician at White Plains Hospital, NY, has vast experience in both clinical and academic neurology and public health. He mentors students at his alma mater Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons. He has been Board certified in Neurology, Internal Medicine, Electrodiagnostic Medicine (AANEM) and Neurophysiology (ABCN). As Associate Editor of the Seminars in Neurology he prepared the 1st edition of his widely-acclaimed textbook, Motor Disorders, now in its 4th edition. He is best recognized as a highly trained electrophysiologist and neuromuscular specialist. For the past decade his work has focused on autoimmunity of the nervous system and the use of immunotherapy and most recently, in COVID-19 neurological illnesses. He is the author of Human Lyme Neuroborreliosis, Science of Medical Cannabis, The Vasculitides, and The Autoimmune Brain; and he has been Guest Editor of the multiple volumes of the Neurological Clinics. He has also authored more than 300 peer-reviewed articles, book chapters, correspondence and scientific abstracts on a wide variety of topics.
