Neuromodulation Surgery, Present and Future

Kendall Lee, M.D., Ph.D.

Introduction

Neurologic Surgery with joint appointments in the Department of Physiology and Biomedical Engineering and the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. Dr. Lee serves as enterprise chair for research in the Department of Neurologic Surgery. He joined the staff of Mayo Clinic in 2006 and holds the academic rank of professor of neurosurgery and physiology, Mayo Clinic College of Medicine and Science.  Dr. Lee earned his B.A. in biology with a minor in philosophy from the University of Colorado at Denver. He attended Yale University Graduate School, where he received his Master of Philosophy, M.D. and Ph.D. in neurobiology. He completed an internship in internal medicine at the Hospital of St. Raphael, Yale University School of Medicine and a residency in neurology at Harvard Medical School. He furthered trained at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center, completing an internship in general surgery and a residency and chief residency in neurosurgery.  In his clinical practice, Dr. Lee is an expert on neurological disorders, seeing patients with Parkinson’s disease, Tourette’s syndrome, dystonia and other neurodegenerative diseases. His research focuses on developing deep brain stimulation for the treatment of Parkinson's disease, tremor, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder and epilepsy. Dr. Lee is fascinated with the possibility of combining sophisticated electrophysiological recordings with miniaturized analytical elements (microprocessors) to augment or repair disrupted function of the brain.  Dr. Lee’s research is funded by National Institutes of Health, National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, and The Grainger Foundation. His findings have been published in numerous high-impact peer-reviewed journals.

He is an internationally recognized speaker and serves on the editorial boards for Journal of Neural Engineering, Biomedical Engineering Letters, Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery and Neuromodulation.  In recognition of his work, Dr. Lee has received many awards and honors, including the Phillip Gildenberg Award, conferred by the American Association of Neurological Surgeons, and the Research Early Career Development Award for Clinician Scientists, conferred by Mayo Clinic.  In addition to his clinical and research activities, Dr. Lee is active in education and provides mentorship to many research trainees, research fellows and visiting scientists, among others. He is director of the Mayo Clinic M.D./Ph.D. Program and holds full faculty privileges in Biomedical Engineering at Mayo Clinic Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences. He is also honorary associate professor in the School of Psychology at Deakin University, Geelong, Australia.  Dr. Lee’s professional memberships include the Society for Neuroscience, Congress of Neurological Surgeons, American Association of Neurological Surgeons, and American Society for Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery, where he serves on the board. Dr. Lee is also a commander in the United States Navy Reserv
