Biography

Charalambos Costas Charalambous is a Medical Instructor in the Division of Stroke Vascular Neurology at Duke University School of Medicine. He holds a Bachelor's and Master's degree in Kinesiology from California State University, Northridge, a Master's in Biokinesiology from the University of Southern California, and a PhD in Health Rehabilitation Sciences from the Medical University of South Carolina. His postdoctoral training includes fellowships at the University of Delaware in Movement Science and Behavioral Neuroscience, New York University Grossman School of Medicine focusing on TMS Neurophysiology and Post-Stroke Motor Recovery, and most recently, at the University of Nicosia Medical School in Neuroscience. Charalambous's research centers on motor neuroscience with an emphasis on neuro-physio-biomechanical behavioral mechanisms that underlie motor recovery and rehabilitation. His work seeks to understand the plasticity of descending motor pathways and their relation to sensorimotor function in walking, aiming to develop mechanism-driven strategies to reduce the burden of walking and restore function in individuals with neurological disorders such as stroke. Current research efforts include examining descending motor pathways' contributions to sensorimotor control in clinical cohorts and developing non-invasive brain stimulation strategies to improve sensorimotor control post-stroke.
