Patricia Leonor Musolino MD, PhD

Patricia Musolino MD, Ph.D. is critical care and vascular neurologist with expertise in genetics and cerebrovascular biology. Former Partners Neurology residency graduate she stayed at MGH for neurocritical care fellowship and she is currently junior faculty in the divisions of Neurocritical Care, Stroke, and Child Neurology. She cares for patients in the Neuroscience Intensive Care Unit, the Emergency Department and is the Co-director of the Pediatric Stroke and Cerebrovascular Service.

Dr. Musolino's clinical and research expertise revolves around the translation of discoveries in human genetics to clinical application in cerebrovascular and neuroinflammatory disorders. Training in neuroscience, brain imaging techniques, and molecular biology acquired during her MD, Ph.D., and post-doctoral education has equipped her with the tools necessary to translate discoveries from the bench to the bedside. Her laboratory work focuses on leveraging insights from neuroimaging and gene-editing tools to understand how single gene mutations alter the blood-brain barrier and cerebrovascular function and to identify better therapies to improve the quality of life of patients with monogenic vascular disorders.
