Advancing Neurotechnology: Innovations from Houston Methodist and Weill Cornell Medicine

You are invited to join an upcoming panel highlighting emerging innovations at the intersection of neurotechnology, rehabilitation, and data-driven surgery. Moderated by Philip Horner, PhD (Houston Methodist Research Institute / Weill Cornell Medicine), the discussion will explore how engineering, neuromodulation, and AI are converging to enable more precise and personalized treatments for neurological disorders.

The panelists will include:

Damiano Barone, MD, PhD,  Assistant Professor of Neurosurgery at Houston Methodist:  Dr. Barone develops next-generation flexible bioelectronic interfaces, including circumferential implants for high-resolution neural recording and stimulation.

Dimitry Sayenko, MD, PhD, Paula and Joseph C. “Rusty” Walter III Chair in Neuromodulation at Houston Methodist:  Dr. Sayenko leads pioneering work in spinal neuromodulation combined with robotic exoskeletons to restore motor function following spinal cord injury and stroke.

Lisa Gfrerer, MD, PhD, Associate Professor in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Weill Cornell Medicine:  Dr. Gfrerer focuses on peripheral nerve reconstruction and has developed an AI-assisted migraine pain-mapping tool to improve surgical outcomes.

Together, these leaders will discuss how advances in neural interfaces, rehabilitation technologies, and AI-enabled clinical decision-making are shaping the future of neurologic care.
