Events

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.
