> Welcome
Kendall H Lee is Professor of Neurological Surgery and Biomedical Engineering at Mayo Clinic Rochester. He received his M.D. and Ph.D. degrees from Yale University in 1998. His doctoral dissertation was on neurochemical modulation of synchronized oscillations in the thalamus (Department of Neurobiology). He completed his neurosurgery residency at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, with an emphasis on stereotactic and functional neurosurgery and deep brain stimulation (DBS). In 2006, He joined Mayo Clinic as a stereotactic and functional neurosurgeon with clinical emphasis on DBS. He founded and is a co-director of the Mayo Neural Engineering Laboratories (NEL) since 2006. His research focusses on neuroscience, specifically in electrophysiology, stereotactic and functional neurosurgery, and electrochemistry. For the past fifteen years, his research has focused on elucidating the therapeutic mechanisms of electrical stimulation in restoring function in both brain and spinal cord. His lab’s endeavors have included intensive collaboration with Mayo’s Division of Engineering to develop novel research devices such as wireless fast-scan cyclic voltammetry designed for use during human and animal DBS surgery to monitor the neurochemical and electrophysiological bases of DBS, as well as research tools and novel stereotactic headframes and MR imaging strategies to investigate effects.
