Maged Goubran

Dr. Goubran’s research program focuses on developing novel artificial intelligence (AI) and computational tools to probe, predict, and understand circuit alterations, and model brain pathology in neurological disorders. Dr. Goubran’s research interests combine translational and basic science research. He is particularly interested in studying the underlying mechanisms and pathways behind disease progression of neurological and cerebrovascular disorders that involve disruption of neural circuits, including Alzheimer’s disease, traumatic brain injury and stroke. This work can lead to the identification of novel translational biomarkers and therapeutic targets, advance our understanding of the pathophysiologic mechanisms of circuit disorders, and improve cognitive and functional outcomes through earlier and more personalized treatments and prevention strategies.
