Professor Eduardo Martin Moraud, currently Assistant Professor at the University of Lausanne and the Centre hospitalier universitaire vaudois (CHUV), as been appointed as Tenure Track Assistant Professor of Neuroscience at the Neuro-X Institute.
Eduardo Martin Moraud’s research has advanced the understanding and treatment of gait disorders in Parkinson’s disease. Combining chronic brain recordings, kinematic analyses and neurophysiological modelling, he identified neural biomarkers predictive of gait freezing and balance impairments, opening the way to more targeted therapeutic approaches. A pioneer of adaptive neuromodulation, Eduardo Martin Moraud designed algorithms capable of adjusting stimulation in real time according to the patient’s motor state. His work, at the intersection of engineering, neuroscience and clinical research, exemplifies a patient-centred approach to translational science.
