After obtaining a Bachelor of Arts degree in Philosophy, Dr. Colino then pursued studies in Inorganic Chemistry, Biochemistry, Physics, Biology, Physiology, Embryology, and Biostatistics at the University of the District of Columbia from 1990 to 1993, with his studies earning him the Beta Kappa Chi Scientific Honors Society award.   He studied Organic Chemistry at George Washington University in 1992.  While taking these post-BA science requirements, Dr. Colino worked as head veterinary technician from 1990 to 1993 at an animal hospital in the Washington DC area, worked as a phlebotomist and medical technician at SmithKline Beecham clinical laboratories in San Francisco from 1993 to 1994.  He later worked as a Staff Research Associate at the Osteoporosis Research Group at the University of California, San Francisco, where his knowledge of biostatistics and expertise in Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) machines, Quality Assurance and Quality Control lead to international travels and lectures on controlled studies in medicine.

Dr. Colino furthered his academic pursuits with studies in Calculus at the University of California, Berkeley, and Physics at City College of San Francisco from 1993 to 1995.

Dr. Colino’s extensive academic background and training have equipped him with the knowledge and analytical skills necessary to navigate complex neurological cases and provide him invaluable insights into the behavioral and physical aspects of neurological disorders.  While running his neurology clinic (2006 to 2011), Dr. Colino was asked to participate in his first expert witness consultation in 2008.  Recognizing the dearth of objectivity in the courtroom, Dr. Colino began formulating the principles of forensic neurology and created the subspecialty of forensic neurology in 2011, at which time he closed his clinic to dedicate himself to the development and refinement of forensic neurology full-time.
