Senior🎓
Top SchoolDavid Borton is an interdisciplinary biomedical engineer and academic leader with nine years of postdoctoral-to-faculty experience driving translational neurotechnology at Brown University, the Carney Institute, and the Providence VA. He leads a team that designs and deploys implantable neural recording and stimulation systems to probe and restore sensorimotor and neuropsychiatric function, work that earned DARPA’s Young Faculty Award and Director’s Award. His research blends engineering rigor with clinical partnerships—spanning neurosurgery and VA care—to advance technologies from bench to bedside and attract sustained support from DoD, NIH institutes, and industry. Notable for publishing in Nature, Neuron, and Science Translational Medicine, he also has deep expertise in wireless, broadband neuroprostheses rooted in his doctoral work. Now serving as Interim Director of Brown’s Institute for Biology, Engineering, and Medicine, he combines lab-scale innovation with institutional leadership. Colleagues describe him as a translational thinker who bridges neuroscience, engineering, and clinical translation in ways that accelerate real-world impact.
