Dr. Vivek Unni joined the Department of Neurology and the OHSU Parkinson Center in September 2011. He is now an Associate Professor, a member of the Jungers Center for Neurosciences Research, and the “John Hammerstad, MD, Professor of Basic Research of Movement Disorders” at OHSU. Vivek received a BS in Chemistry and Biological Sciences from Stanford in 1995. He then earned a MD and PhD from Columbia University in 2003. After a medical internship at St. Luke’s-Roosevelt Hospital in New York City, he completed a neurology residency and movement disorders fellowship at Massachusetts General Hospital/Brigham & Women’s Hospital. Before joining OHSU, Vivek was an Instructor in Neurology at Harvard Medical School and a clinical and research fellow at Mass General. In his research, Vivek is using in vivo multiphoton imaging to examine the aggregation of alpha-synuclein in mouse models of Parkinson’s Disease (PD) and Lewy Body Dementia (LBD), and a variety of techniques to study the novel hypothesis, developed in his lab, that alpha-synuclein plays unexpected roles in the cell nucleus in DNA repair. In his clinical work, Vivek has a special interest in taking care of people with PD and other disorders of movement. He enjoys treating people with these types of problems and working to make their lives better using the kind of team approach that is possible at OHSU. Outside of medicine his time is primarily spent enjoying his family. He spends much of his free time with them exploring Oregon. He greatly enjoys reading, backpacking, fishing, and college football.
