Amol Yadav

Amol Yadav, PhD, is an Assistant Professor in the Joint Department of Biomedical Engineering at the UNC School of Medicine, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. His work focuses on neural engineering, regenerative medicine, and neuromodulation techniques for neurological disorders. Key research areas include spinal cord injury repair, closed-loop neural interfaces, and artificial sensation generation through spinal cord stimulation.

His research employs rodent and primate models to explore therapeutic interventions for Parkinson’s disease, freezing of gait, and movement disorders. Techniques such as dorsal column stimulation and Schwann cell-based regeneration strategies are central to his studies. Yadav also investigates wearable sensor applications in gait analysis and surgical outcomes in spinal procedures.

Notable contributions include closed-loop systems for locomotion restoration and brain-spine interfaces for sensory information transfer. His work bridges biomedical engineering with clinical neurology, emphasizing translational applications. No scientific awards or grants are explicitly mentioned in the provided text.

Yadav’s lab focuses on developing neuroprosthetics and neuromodulation therapies, though specific lab names or team details are not detailed in the text.
