معرفی
Douglas P. Munoz is a Professor at Queen's University, affiliated with the Department of Biomedical and Molecular Sciences under the School of Medicine. He is also a member of the Centre for Neuroscience Studies and contributes to the Ontario Neurodegenerative Disease Research Initiative (ONDRI).
Educational Background:
- PhD in Neurology and Neurosurgery, McGill University
- Postdoctoral Fellowship, McGill University and National Institutes of Health
Research Interests
Dr. Munoz investigates the neural circuitry controlling saccadic eye movements to understand brain function and dysfunction. His work spans behavioural neurophysiology, brain imaging, and neurological patient assessment, with a focus on disorders like Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease.
Article Trends
His recent publications emphasize eye-tracking as a diagnostic tool for neurodegenerative and psychiatric disorders, including plasma biomarker correlations, machine learning classification, and cross-disease comparisons. Key areas include saccade dynamics, pupil-linked arousal, and neural correlates of social cognition.
Scientific Awards
- Tier 1 Canada Research Chair
Grants & Collaborations
As Principal Investigator of the Queen's Eye Movement Laboratory, he leads large-scale initiatives like the ONDRI and CAMERA Study, integrating multimodal neuroimaging and behavioural analysis to advance clinical neuroscience.
