Nanthia Suthana

Nanthia Suthana is professor of neurosurgery, biomedical engineering and neurobiology at Duke University. Her lab studies the neural mechanisms of human memory, emotion and spatial navigation using intracranial recordings, neuromodulation and wearable technologies during real-world behavior. Her work bridges basic neuroscience and clinical translation, with the goal of developing novel treatments for neurological and psychiatric disorders. Suthana earned her B.S. and Ph.D. at the University of California, Los Angeles. She has led interdisciplinary research programs integrating neuroscience, engineering and clinical practice, with an emphasis on studying brain function in naturalistic settings.
