PhD, University of California, Irvine
Brian T. David, PhD, completed his graduate studies at the University of California, Irvine in the Reeve-Irvine Research Center. He underwent his postdoctoral training at Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences and received additional training while working as a scientist at the Institute for Memory Impairments and Neurological Disorders and at Burke Medical Research Institute/Weill Cornell Medical College. As a neuroscientist with over 14 years of experience in spinal cord injury, David has achieved expertise in multiple rodent survival surgical procedures (various models of injury, tract tracing, cell transplantation, and bladder cystometry), behavioral assessments, and in vivo imaging. His interests include the recovery of autonomic, as well as motor and sensory, function following neurological injury. He has been actively involved in studies investigating the recovery of bladder function and the modulation of pain following spinal cord injury, with a focus on the role of the inflammatory response after injury. Recently, his research has been focused on improving the survival of transplanted Schwann cells through manipulation of transcription factors prior to transplantation. He also actively participated in the FORE-SCI replication experiments contracted by the NINDS. David primarily works as director of research for Richard G. Fessler, MD, PhD.
