Brian Ronald Noga

Dr. Brian Noga is a Professor in the Department of Neurological Surgery at the University of Miami, USA, affiliated with The Miami Project to Cure Paralysis. His research focuses on neuromodulation strategies to enhance spinal locomotor circuits post-spinal cord injury (SCI), utilizing deep brain stimulation (DBS) and fast cyclic voltammetry to study monoaminergic pathways.

Education:

• PhD in Physiology (1988), University of Manitoba
• Postdoctoral Fellowships at University of Göteborg (1989), supported by IBRO, Swedish Institute, and Council of Europe Scholarships

Research Interests revolve around understanding and repairing motor control systems after SCI. He explores cortical and spinal circuits, pharmacology of neurotransmitters, and biosensor development for precise DBS applications in translational models.

Article Trends: Recent publications emphasize DBS advancements, wireless neurostimulation, and locomotor circuit modulation. His work bridges preclinical models and clinical translation, targeting FDA-approved technologies for SCI rehabilitation.

Scientific Awards:

• IBRO Postdoctoral Fellowship
• Swedish Institute Scholarship
• Council of Europe Scholarship

Teaching & Grants: Supervised 4 graduate students and 37 junior researchers. Secured federal grants from the Department of Defense and NIH to develop DBS probes for SCI rehabilitation, aiming to reduce secondary complications and improve quality of life.
