Randolph J. Nudo is an American neuroscientist and academic known for his contributions to rehabilitation medicine and neuroplasticity. He currently holds the position of University Distinguished Professor and Vice Chair of Research in the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at the University of Kansas Medical Center.[1]

Education

[edit]

Nudo completed his Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Statistics at Pennsylvania State University and continued his studies at Florida State University, where he received a Masters degree in psychology and a doctorate in Psychology and Neuroscience. He then undertook a Postdoctoral Fellowship in Physiology at the University of California, San Francisco.[2]

Career

[edit]

He began his career at the University of Texas Health Science Center in Houston, where he held the position of associate professor in the Department of Neurobiology and Anatomy.[3][4]

He serves as editor-in-chief for Neurorehabilitation and Neural Repair (journal)[5] and deputy editor for Brain Stimulation (journal).[6]

He also served for 20 years as a director of the Landon Center on Aging, an interdisciplinary research center at the University of Kansas Medical Center.[7]

Nudo and his partner, Pedram Mohseni, had co-owned the trademark and the company NeuraLink since 2015. The trademark was acquired by Elon Musk in 2017 and rebranded to Neuralink.[8]

Awards and honors

[edit]

He has received a number of awards, including the Javits Investigator Award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke for his work on neuroscience.[9]
