About Dr. Sanjay Pandey

  • Dr. Sanjay Pandey is a renowned Neurologist with over 29 years of experience.
  • His primary areas of expertise are in the field of deep brain stimulation, botulinum toxin injection, tremor, dystonia, and writer's cramp.
  • He specializes in Parkinson's disease and movement disorders.
  • After completing his MBBS from Grant Medical College and Sir JJ Hospital, Mumbai, in 1995, he also achieved an MD (General Medicine) from the Institute of Medical Sciences, Banaras Hindu University in 1999.
  • He further achieved a DNB (General Medicine) from the National Board of Examination, India, 2000, a DNB (Neurology) from the National Board of Examination, India, 2004, and a DM (Neurology) from the Sanjay Gandhi PG Institute, 2004
  • His research journey during his neurology residency focused on movement disorders in patients with Japanese encephalitis at Sanjay Gandhi Post Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences, Lucknow.
  • Dr. Pandey also earned a Fellowship from the Indian Academy of Neurology (FIAN) and a Fellowship in Parkinson's disease and movement disorders at NINDS/NIH, the USA, 2011.
  • During his tenure at GB Pant Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research (GIPMER), he conducted significant research on sleep-related disorders and other non-motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease (PD).
  • In 2011, the Indo-U.S. Science and Technology Forum awarded him a one-year fellowship in Parkinson's disease and movement disorders at NINDS/NIH, the USA, under Mark Hallett. 
  • During his fellowship, he completed several intramural projects (Ethanol response in essential tremor, post-traumatic shoulder movement, dopaminergic medications modifications following DBS, range of motion, and a new rating scale in writer's cramp, measuring dyskinesia and tremor in PD using a kinetic device and physiology of movement disorders). 
  • In the last decade, he has completed several research projects to generate novel Indian data on striatal and postural deformities in PD, sensory tricks in dystonia, botulinum toxin in movement disorders, tremor in dystonia, functional movement disorders, genetics of Parkinson's disease and dystonia, post-stroke movement disorders, and frequency of different subtypes of cervical dystonia: A French-Danish-German-Indian-Polish observational study.
  • Dr. Pandey has also supervised the dissertations of 30 neurology students pursuing doctorate (DM) courses. 
  • He has just completed a multi-centric study (funded by the government of India) titled 'The Indian Movement Disorder Registry and Bio-bank: Clinical and Genetic Evaluation of Movement Disorders in Indian Patients (DBT).' 
  • He is also collaborating on another study funded by the government of India titled 'Integrative analysis of Wilson's disease: Indian Collaborative Research Network on Wilson's disease (iCROWD).' 
  • As a principal investigator, he is also doing prospective studies on the cognitive profile of PD, drug-induced movement disorders, essential tremor plus, and craniocervical dystonia. 
  • Currently, Dr. Pandey is chairing a study group on international Parkinson's and movement disorders.
  • Heis fluent in English and Hindi.
