Tania Kümpfel

After my medical study at the LMU Munich I started practicing in neurology in 1994. In 1996 my focus of research became multiple sclerosis which I deepened after I joined the Institue of Clinical Neuroimmunology at the LMU Munich, led by R. Hohlfeld in 2001. I worked as a resident and was subsequently licensed as a neurologist in 2003. Since 2005 I was senior neurologist and became leader of the outpatient clinic at the Institute of Clinical Neuroimmunology (LMU) in 2018. My focus of research includes a broad spectrum of neuroimmunological diseases including multiple sclerosis, NMOSD, MOGAD, limbic encephalitis and also neuromuscular disease. Since 2008 I’m part of the neuromyelitis optica study group (NEMOS) in Germany and involved in several national/international projects. Defining prognostic markers and treatment responses as well as optimal therapies for patients is one goal of my research activities.
