Stacey L. Clardy, MD, PhD

The guest editor of this issue of Seminars in Neurology is Dr. Stacey L. Clardy from the Salt Lake City, VA and the University of Utah.

Dr. Clardy is an assistant professor of neurology in the Division of Neuroimmunology at the University of Utah. She is the director of the Autoimmune Neurology Fellowship at Utah, and is rapidly becoming a national and international leader in the field of autoimmune neurology.

Dr. Clardy received her undergraduate degree from Elizabethtown College in Pennsylvania, followed by her MD and PhD (cell and molecular biology) from Pennsylvania State University. She completed her internship, residency, and an enfolded postdoctoral fellowship at Penn State as well, and then did her fellowship training in autoimmune neurology at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. She has been an active and successful researcher throughout her career, both in the laboratory and clinically. She has an extensive publication record in the field of autoimmune neurology, quickly establishing her as one of the rising stars in the field!

This issue on “Autoimmune Neurology” is likely to be one of the most popular and useful, as it is a challenging and constantly developing field that requires attention from all neurologists, regardless of their specialty. Stacey has put together an all-star cast of experts as authors in this issue, and I'm sure you'll find the information within extremely helpful, including many useful tables, figures, and imaging studies. I greatly appreciate the efforts of Dr. Clardy and all the contributing authors for their great work in this issue of Seminars!
