Professor Philip Starr
Dolores Cakebread Professor of Neurological Surgery
University of California, San Francisco.
Dr. Starr is the Dolores Cakebread Professor of Neurological Surgery, at the University of California, San Francisco. He obtained his MD and PhD from Harvard Medical School, did neurosurgical residency at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, and did a fellowship in movement disorders surgery at Emory University. He was recruited to UCSF in 1998 to launch a clinical and research program in deep brain stimulation. Dr. Starr and UCSF neurologist Dr. Jill Ostrem are the directors of a multidisciplinary clinic for comprehensive care of patients with movement disorders.
His NIH funded research addresses: 1) Brain network abnormalities underlying motor and nonmotor features of movement disorders. 2) Mechanisms of therapeutic deep brain stimulation. 3) The use of totally implantable neural interfaces for long term brain recording and adaptive DBS.
