Dr Spencer Brinker
Spencer is an Associate Research Scientist in the Department of Anesthesiology at the Yale School of Medicine. His primary research is developing transcranial ultrasound methods and technologies for human use to treat brain disorders. Dr. Brinker received his PhD. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Illinois at Chicago where he specialized in Magnetic Resonance Elastography. Following that, he completed postdoctoral fellowship in the Focused Ultrasound Laboratory at Brigham & Women’s Hospital, Harvard Medical School.
Spencer is currently working on Altering Perivascular Space Fluid Dynamics Using Pulsed Transcranial Ultrasound using the Leducq foundation Pilot fund scheme, January 2019 award.
