Duke Institute for Brain Sciences

By training, I am a neurologist and a neuroradiologist. Much of my research has been in applications of diffusion tensor imaging to understand brain development in children as well as to elucidate disease mechanisms in adult and pediatric white matter diseases. In the past few years, my research has focused on applications of nanotechnology to oncology as well as to brain disorders. I am interested in developing nanotechnological techniques for imaging of CNS disorders, delivering therapy and re-engineering CNS tissue.
