Dr. Moussa A. Chalah received his Medical Doctorate (MD) from the Gilbert & Rose Marie Chagoury School of Medicine at Lebanese American University, Lebanon (2014). His passion for clinical research as a power for change and improvement in the health care field pushed him to pursue his graduate studies in neurophysiology (Lille 2 University) and neurosciences (MSc and PhD, Paris Est Creteil University) (2014-2019). Since 2014, Dr. Chalah joined the neurophysiology and cortical excitability research team at Henri Mondor Hospital, France. His current research focuses on the use of Non-Invasive Brain Stimulation techniques (NIBS) in the exploration and treatment of neuropsychiatric symptoms. In the last few years, these techniques –namely the non-invasive application of electric and magnetic fields at different brain sites- have gained attention in the domain of neurorehabilitation. In this perspective, he is particularly interested in studying the effects of NIBS techniques on fatigue as well as cognitive and affective manifestations in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). During his time at UPEC, Dr. Chalah attended national and European congresses, where he presented abstracts and gave lectures, covering the use of NIBS. He is a member of the French Society of Neurophysiology, the European Academy of Neurology, the International Multiple Sclerosis Cognitive Society, and the International Neuropsychological Society. He reviewed, edited, and authored several papers published in PubMed indexed International Journals.
