Ayush Gupta, MD

Ayush Gupta, MBBS, is a board-certified child neurologist at Arkansas Children’s and an assistant professor of Child Neurology at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS). Dr. Gupta specializes in neuroimmunology, which covers conditions where the immune system affects the brain and spinal cord. These include multiple sclerosis (MS), MOG antibody-associated disease (MOGAD), autoimmune encephalitis and rare genetic disorders that can look like immune conditions.

Dr. Gupta came to Arkansas Children’s from the University of Nebraska Medical Center after completing a fellowship there in multiple sclerosis and neuroimmunology, one of only three nationally funded fellowships of its kind. Before that, Dr. Gupta completed a child neurology residency at the University of Louisville and Norton Children’s Hospital and served as chief resident.

Beyond patient care, Dr. Gupta has published widely on rare neuroimmune and genetic disorders and has been a guest on the Neurology journal podcast. He also co-created a national alliance where specialists review complex neuroimmune and neurogenetic cases together, and uses virtual reality to teach neuroanatomy to neurology residents. Throughout this work, Dr. Gupta is driven by a commitment to more precise diagnoses, better access to specialized care and new ways of training the next generation of neurologists.
