معرفی
Audrey Brumback is an Assistant Professor of Neurology and Pediatrics in the Department of Neuroscience at The University of Texas at Austin (College of Natural Sciences). Her research focuses on autism, neurodevelopmental disorders, and related neurological conditions. She leads the Brumback Lab, dedicated to understanding autism through electrophysiological, optogenetic, and behavioral approaches.
Research interests include:
- Electrophysiological mechanisms in autism
- Optogenetic/chemogenetic interventions
- Neural circuit dysfunction in developmental disorders
- Therapeutic device development (e.g., vibrating vests for stereotypies)
Notable achievements include the 2017 Dodge Young Investigator Award and multiple Pediatric Neurology Trainee Awards. Her work bridges basic neuroscience with clinical applications, emphasizing translational research.
Publications span topics like mediodorsal thalamic circuits, epilepsy models, and neurodevelopmental pathways. She actively promotes research rigor through collaborative networks and advocates for gender-diverse approaches in autism diagnosis.
