He is the past Chair of the MS Section of the American Academy of Neurology and an invited member of the Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute. Dr. Dunn has served as Principal Investigator in more than 30 clinical trials pertaining to the immunopathology and treatment of Multiple Sclerosis. His research employs a translational interdisciplinary collaborative with Stanford bench science to identify potential biomarkers of disease status and candidate therapeutic targets within the contextual paradigm of precision medicine. With co-inventors he is a US patent holder for a marker of MS treatment response. He has co-authored more than 50 peer-reviewed manuscripts and abstracts. Dr. Dunn has been recognized for excellence in clinical teaching: as an 11 time awardee for excellence in Neurology Clerkship teaching, as a two time winner of the Arthur Bloomfield Award for excellence in clinical teaching, with the Henry J.
