    My Scopus ID are 55900937400 and 24290430000.
    My NIH COMMONS name is JOKEEFE.

    Research Areas:
    My expertise is in the detection of gait and balance impairments in a variety of movement disorders. I am a physical therapist with doctoral and postdoctoral training in basic neurobiology and am presently conducting clinical research investigating balance and gait in several neurodegenerative disorders. I received my BS in physical therapy from the University of Illinois-Chicago and my PhD in anatomy and neurobiology from Loyola University Chicago. I am predominantly studying Fragile X tremor and ataxia syndrome (FXTAS), which occurs in some premutation (PM) carriers of the Fragile X (FMR1) gene.
