In his new role as Chair, Dr. Vitek will oversee the MnDRIVE Brain Conditions initiative, a collaborative effort between the University of Minnesota and the State of Minnesota. MnDRIVE (Minnesota’s Discovery, Research, and InnoVation Economy) aims to build the University’s capacity for world-class research that benefits all Minnesotans. The Brain Conditions program is dedicated to advancing neuromodulation research, developing new therapies, and improving the quality of life for individuals suffering from neurological conditions. We look forward to the impact Dr. Vitek will have in this role and the continued growth and success of the MnDRIVE Brain Conditions program under his leadership.
We want to thank Timothy J. Ebner, MD, PhD, the previous Steering Committee Chair, for his exceptional leadership in building this program over the past decade. His contributions have been invaluable in developing an exceptional training environment for neuromodulation research at UMN, which will have a long-term impact on the field by training a new generation of outstanding investigators.
