Background and Biography:
Krish Sathian, MD, PhD, the Medical Director of the Atlanta VAMC Rehabilitation R&D Center since July 2005, is currently also Professor of Neurology at Emory University School of Medicine, and a faculty member of the interdisciplinary Neuroscience Program at Emory. He obtained his medical degree at Christian Medical College, Vellore, India and a PhD in neuroscience from the University of Melbourne, Australia. He did his residency in neurology at the University of Chicago Hospitals. He divides his time between clinical work in neurology and neurological rehabilitation, teaching medical students and residents, neuroscientific laboratory research and training graduate students and research fellows. His research focusses on the study of perception and its applications to neurorehabilitation. He has published extensively in these areas and frequently lectures in the USA and overseas. He serves on review panels for multiple granting authorities, including the NIH and the VA. He received the Albert Levy Award in 2001 for the best scientific publication by a faculty member at Emory. He was elected to the American Neurological Association in 2001.
