Rahul Rathakrishnan, MD

Rahul Rathakrishnan graduated from the University of Southampton (UK), continuing his medical and neurology training in England and Singapore. He obtained specialist board accreditation in neurology in 2007 and joined the MNI in 2008 as a research fellow supported by a grant from the Ministry of Health and the National University Hospital, Singapore. He is studying the clinical application of quantitative continuous- EEG in critically ill patients and the use of EEG-fMRI in patients with epilepsy. He is back to Singapore now.
