Daniel Alves Neiva Barbosa
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Neurosurgery
Bio Daniel A. N. Barbosa, M.D., is a Postdoctoral Scholar sponsored by Dr. Casey H. Halpern (Assistant Professor of Neurosurgery) and co-sponsored by Dr. Jennifer McNab (Assistant Professor of Radiology). He received his medical degree from the Federal University of the State of Rio de Janeiro in 2018. During his clinical education, Dr. Barbosa followed several renowned neurosurgeons and neurologists, and had a large experience with neurological and psychiatric patients. He developed great interest for the investigations of neurosurgical techniques to improve brain function. Now, he is working on multimodal imaging techniques to improve stereotactic targeting in on-demand, responsive neuromodulation (RNS) of the nucleus accumbens for pathological impulsivity, a pervasive symptom in a wide range of neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders. After a couple of years working on research, Dr. Barbosa plans to start his residency in Neurological Surgery and ultimately pursue his career in Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery.
