David Soleimani-Meigooni, MD

Assistant Professor
Neurology

Dr. David N. Soleimani-Meigooni is a neurologist who cares for patients experiencing cognitive symptoms as a result of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease.

In research, Soleimani-Meigooni focuses on advancing precision-medicine approaches to diagnosing Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative diseases. He looks at using positron emission tomography (PET) to image amyloid-beta and tau (protein fragments that accumulate in the brains of people with the condition).

Soleimani-Meigooni earned his medical degree at UCSF. He completed a residency in neurology at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, followed by a fellowship in cognitive and behavioral neurology at UCSF.
