About
Ghazaleh Darmani is a leading researcher at the intersection of neuromodulation and biomedical engineering, with a primary focus on advancing non-invasive brain stimulation techniques. Her key research areas include transcranial ultrasound (TUS) neuromodulation, deep brain stimulation (DBS), and the development of safe, targeted therapeutic interventions for neurological disorders. Darmani’s major contribution lies in her pioneering work to integrate TUS with DBS-implanted patients, addressing critical safety and feasibility challenges. Her highly cited 2022 paper, "Toward focused ultrasound neuromodulation in deep brain stimulator implanted patients: Ex-vivo thermal, kinetic and targeting feasibility assessment" (20 citations), provides essential ex-vivo validation of thermal and kinetic parameters, laying the groundwork for clinical translation. This work is notable for its rigorous assessment of targeting accuracy and safety, enabling future non-invasive modulation of deep brain structures in patients with existing implants. Darmani’s research has significant impact, bridging the gap between emerging ultrasound technologies and established DBS therapies, with potential to revolutionize treatment for movement and psychiatric disorders. Her achievements include advancing the safety profile of TUS, making her a key figure in the evolution of next-generation neuromodulation.
