Dr. Nuray Yozbatiran is an Associate Professor for Research in the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at McGovern Medical School, The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth). She is affiliated with the Neuromodulation and Rehabilitation Laboratories at the UTHealth NeuroRecovery Research Center at TIRR Memorial Hermann, where she conducts cutting-edge research in neurorehabilitation. Dr. Yozbatiran's research focuses on developing and optimizing treatment protocols for upper-limb movement rehabilitation in individuals with stroke, spinal cord injury, and traumatic brain injury. Her work integrates various approaches including non-invasive brain stimulation techniques (transcranial direct current stimulation and transcranial magnetic stimulation), robotic exoskeletons, and exercise therapies. She also investigates the underlying neural mechanisms of recovery using advanced neuroimaging techniques such as diffusion tensor imaging and functional MRI. Her research has been supported by significant grants including a Principal Investigator role on a Mission Connect/TIRR Foundation-funded project examining combined tDCS and robotic-assisted training for spinal cord injury, and a Co-Investigator role on an NIH-National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke grant focused on brain-machine interface control of therapeutic exoskeletons. Dr. Yozbatiran has published extensively in her field, with research spanning from fundamental neuroimaging of motor recovery to clinical trials of novel rehabilitation techniques. Her publication record demonstrates a consistent focus on translating basic neuroscience into practical rehabilitation applications for patients with neurological conditions. Her research methodology combines clinical assessment with advanced neurophysiological and neuroimaging techniques to understand both the behavioral outcomes and neural mechanisms underlying rehabilitation interventions. This comprehensive approach allows her to develop more targeted and effective treatment protocols for patients with neurological injuries.

John Oliver Brooks is a Clinical Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Biobehavioral Sciences at the UCLA School of Medicine. With an active research career spanning over three decades, his work focuses on the intersection of psychiatry, neuroscience, and clinical mental health treatment. Dr. Brooks' primary research interests include bipolar disorder, neuroimaging of mood disorders, inflammation biomarkers in depression treatment, suicide risk assessment, and geriatric psychiatry. His research has evolved from early work on Alzheimer's disease and cognitive decline to current investigations of neural circuitry in mood disorders and treatment response prediction. He has made significant contributions to understanding sex differences in depression treatment response and the role of inflammatory markers in mental health conditions. An analysis of his recent publications reveals a strong focus on translational psychiatry, with particular emphasis on using neuroimaging and biomarker approaches to understand treatment mechanisms in bipolar disorder and depression. His work increasingly incorporates machine learning techniques for risk prediction, especially regarding suicide and self-harm following hospitalization. The longitudinal nature of his research program demonstrates consistent investigation into the neurobiological underpinnings of mood disorders. Dr. Brooks has secured NIH funding for his research, including as Principal Investigator on the R03MH110877 grant "Neural Signatures of Bipolar Disorder across Depression and Remission" (2016-2019). His collaborative network includes prominent UCLA researchers such as Katherine Narr, Jennifer Kruse, and Michael Irwin, reflecting strong institutional connections within the psychiatry and neuroscience communities. While his earlier work included significant contributions to geriatric psychiatry and Alzheimer's disease research, his recent focus has shifted more toward bipolar disorder, treatment-resistant depression, and suicide risk prediction across the lifespan. His work bridges clinical practice with neuroscience to improve understanding and treatment of severe mental illnesses.
