H. Christian Von Buedingen, M.D.

Neurologist

Dr. H. Christian von Budingen is a neurologist who cares for patients in the Multiple Sclerosis Center at UCSF Medical Center.

He earned a medical degree at the Johann-Wolfgang Goethe-University in Frankfurt, Germany and completed additional training in Munich, Germany and Zurich, Switzerland, where he became a board-certified neurologist. He completed a fellowship in neuroimmunology at UCSF and worked as a neurologist in Switzerland before returning to UCSF in 2009. In his research, he studies B cell and antibody-related immune mechanisms in MS. He has received post-doctoral research fellowship awards from the National Institutes of Health, National Multiple Sclerosis Society, German Multiple Sclerosis Society, Hertie-Foundation in Germany and Stiefel-Zangger-Foundation in Switzerland. He is an assistant professor of neurology.
