She then joined the OSU faculty in the Department of Neurology in 2004. Dr Kataki is a board-certified neurologist with special interests and subspecialty training in Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, and behavioral neurology.
Dr Kataki has published papers, book chapters, and abstracts in the area of Alzheimer’s disease, behavioral neurology, functional imaging in the diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease, clinical manifestations of Creutzfeldt-Jacob disease and other Central Nervous System Infections, clinical manifestations of general neurological conditions, applications of MEG in surgical treatment of Epilepsy, and treatment of neurological diseases using functional neurosurgery.
Dr Kataki has been involved in multiple clinical trials and research projects. She lectures on topics of Alzheimer’s disease and Behavioral Neurology and she often presents in national and international meetings.
She is currently developing the pharmacogenomics project in Dementia in collaboration with the department of Pharmacology, Dr Sadee working in identifying haplotypes of several genes in brain tissue and organizing a data base for the Buckey brain bank.
