Dr. Nagel specializes in neurovirology and studies how VZV, the cause of chicken pox and shingles, produces stroke. Her clinical studies include defining the frequency of VZV in patients with stroke, giant cell arteritis and atypical facial pain. Her basic science studies focus on the role of purinergic signaling and inflammation on VZV-induced pathological vascular remodeling.
