Research & Clinical Interests

Dr. Nei has conducted research regarding multiple clinical aspects of epilepsy, including epilepsy surgery and surgical outcome, dietary treatment of epilepsy, and maternal-fetal effects of seizures. One of her primary areas of research has focused on the effects of seizures on the autonomic nervous system, investigating the pathophysiology of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy, and the clinical consequences of seizures. She regularly collaborates with other researchers both in the US as well as internationally. She has expertise in the treatment of adolescents and adults with epilepsy, women's issues in epilepsy, evaluation for epilepsy surgery, and evaluation of transient loss of consciousness, including the evaluation of seizure versus syncope.

Other Expertise

Dr. Nei serves as Jefferson’s Director of the Epilepsy and Clinical Neurophysiology Fellowship programs. She is highly interested in medical education and regularly mentors medical students, residents, and fellows in neurology. In addition, she is active in epilepsy education as an invited speaker and session chair for various topics of epilepsy at local, regional, and national meetings. Patient education is another important focus, and she speaks on a regular basis at education seminars for the Epilepsy Foundation of America.

As the Vice-Chair for Faculty Affairs and Diversity for the Department of Neurology, she is highly involved in the mentorship of faculty members, recruitment, and the department’s diversity efforts.

She also serves on the editorial board of the Epilepsia and Journal of Neurology and Neurophysiology. She is a regular peer reviewer for several journals, including Neurology, Lancet Neurology, Annals of Neurology, Epilepsia, Pediatrics, Epilepsy Research, Seizure, and several other journals.
