Biography

Gustavo Balbinot is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biomedical Physiology and Kinesiology at Simon Fraser University. His research program, focused on Movement Neurorehabilitation, leverages big data applications to explore how the central nervous system responds to injury, particularly in relation to neurorehabilitation strategies. Balbinot's work involves quantifying movement loss and recovery through advanced computer vision techniques and collecting electrophysiological data from the brain and spinal cord to assess pathway integrity from brain to muscles. This research seeks to identify biomarkers for neurorecovery, such as corticospinal tract integrity. He is actively pursuing both national and international collaborations to test promising new therapies alongside neurorehabilitation and apply big data approaches to clinical datasets.
