Alexandros Tselis, M.D., Ph.D., an associate professor in the Wayne State University School of Medicine’s Department of Neurology, has been appointed to the editorial board of the Journal of NeuroVirology.

“Your integrity and knowledge in the area of viral pathogens in the central nervous system will greatly promote scientific achievement and excellence in the manuscripts published in the journal,” Editor in Chief Kamel Khalili, Ph.D., wrote in the notification of Dr. Tselis’s appointment to the board.

The five-year appointment is in recognition of Dr. Tselis’s national and international reputation in the field, which he called “very small, but very exciting.”

He also serves on the editorial board of the Journal of the Neurological Sciences and the World Federation of Neurology Newsletter.

Dr. Tselis’s interests include infectious and inflammatory diseases of the central nervous system, including the neurological complications of HIV, as well as viral encephalitis and multiple sclerosis. He has been listed in Best Doctors in America, and is vice chief of Neurology at Detroit Receiving Hospital. In 2009 he was appointed a fellow of the American Academy of Neurology.
