Adam Grossman
Bio-X
Bioengineering Graduate Fellow 2004
Profs. Terence Sanger (Pediatric Neurosurgery), Scott Delp (Bioengineering, Mechanical Engineering) and Krishna Shenoy (Electrical Engineering)
Adam studies children with severe movement disorders in order to generate hypotheses as to the biological cause for their disorders. He will collect data from each child—ranging from simple MRI and CT scans to more complex kinesthetic analyses. The data will help shed light on the specific locations in the brain that may be malfunctioning. Using this information, Adam will design further experiments to test these hypotheses and provide insight for better treatments and potential cures for these diseases. In particular, Adam is interested in determining how and why deep brain stimulation is an effective treatment for some dystonic children and what parameters of the stimulation can be adapted to optimize the benefits of DBS in these children. |
