It is with great gratitude and pleasure that I report my European Academy of Neurology Research Fellowship at the Clinical Department of Neurology, Medical University of Innsbruck.

I completed Dr. DB Gupta/EAN research experience fellowship 2016 in the Epilepsy center (Epilepsihospitalet) Filadelfia, Dianalund, Denmark under Professor Sandor Beniczky. It was my first ever visit to abroad which gave me the learning experience of all the processes apart from successful completion of the project.

The chief of the neurology department at Unna Evangelical Hospital, Prof. Zaza Katsarava ( Professor of Neurology at the University of Essen) kindly accepted my attendance  at his department. The Evangelical Hospital in Unna is a multiprofile hospital, with a 75 bed inpatient department of Neurology.

It has been a great honour for me to be awarded with the EAN Research fellowship. The EAN Research Experience Fellowship allowed me to spend more than one year at the Oxford University, in the Department of Physiology, Anatomy and Genetics (DPAG). It has been a life changing experience for me.
