Warmest welcome to our newest MnDRIVE Neuromodulation Scholar, Dr. Edgar Peña, who starts today! Dr. Peña's lab develops computational models that push the state-of-the-art to enable personalized neuromodulation therapies. In parallel, his lab leverages state-of-the-art modeling, electrophysiology, and data science methods to understand emerging methods for selective nervous system modulation. Given the growth in electrical neuromodulation for both autonomic and central nervous systems (e.g., excessive inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis, blood pressure in hypertension, and rehabilitative therapies post-stroke), his lab pursues outcomes that will have a widespread impact on clinical practice.
Welcome to the team, Dr. Peña!
