Enrico Opri is an Assistant Professor of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Michigan, where he leads research aimed at understanding neurophysiological activity in basal ganglia-thalamocortical circuits of humans affected by neurological disorders such as Parkinson's disease, Tourette syndrome, Essential Tremor, and Epilepsy. His work explores how neuromodulation techniques, including Deep Brain Stimulation and cortical stimulation mapping, can alter neural networks to provide therapeutic benefits. Opri aims to identify neurological biomarkers to enhance current clinical procedures in the treatment of neurological disorders while advancing closed-loop neurostimulation methodologies. His educational background includes a Bachelor's and Master's degree in Biomedical Engineering from Politecnico di Milano, a Master's and Ph.D. from the University of Florida, and postdoctoral training at Emory University in the Neurology Department. Opri's research has been supported by prestigious fellowships, including the APDA postdoctoral fellowship and NIH grants.
