Our interdisciplinary team brings together a wealth of expertise to examine movement disorders, device based therapies, and translational research. We seek outstanding scientists interested in working in a NIH funded research program studying motor systems neurophysiology, the pathophysiology of Parkinson's disease, and mechanisms of deep brain stimulation in Parkinson's disease.
