A Duke Workday: How Nanthia Suthana Is Unlocking the Mysteries of Memory and the Brain
Meet Nanthia Suthana, Professor of Neurosurgery, Biomedical Engineering, and Neurobiology at Duke University
Each video in “A Duke Workday” series connects you with a staff and faculty member who shares and represents the Duke values of respect, trust, inclusion, discovery and excellence. Is there a colleague you would like for us to highlight in “A Duke Workday?” Let us know.
Nanthia Suthana, Professor of Neurosurgery, Biomedical Engineering, and Neurobiology at Duke University, is the principal investigator for the Suthana Lab.
Suthana leads a team at Duke working together to better understand memory and how the brain supports it. Their work utilizes various types of wearable technology that is able to provide data in real time to researchers who track what is happening in both the brain, as well as the rest of the body.
"We want to understand memory in the real world, really during naturalistic behavior," Suthana said. "... Ultimately, the best part is when you see a patient that has transformed. Their life has completely changed, and really is the reason why we are doing what we are doing."
