Kasra Mansourian, B.S.

I am a Tulane medical student joining the lab for a dedicated research year. I received my B.S. in biopsychology from UCSB and my M.S. in molecular medicine from Tulane. After graduating, I worked in the Margolis/Waung lab at UCSF where I studied neural circuitry involved in pain and addiction. There I developed a growing interest in functional neurosurgery as I learned more about the ways in which neurosurgeons are able to monitor and modulate aberrant brain circuits. I look forward to working with this skilled and collaborative team to further explore the utility of deep brain stimulation in psychiatric disorders.
