Julian Gendreau, MD (He/Him)

My interest in the neurosciences began early in medical school after observing a craniotomy to remove a deadly tumor, glioblastoma, from a patient with one of my close mentors. Here, I witnessed the mesmerizing nature of the brain, first-hand, in the operating room. Additionally, it was in medical school where I realized the many unknowns in our current scope of knowledge regarding this vital organ. These two reasons secured my decision to enter a career in the neurosciences. Initially, I attended medical school at the Mercer University School of Medicine in Savannah, Georgia. Throughout my medical training, I was involved in several clinical projects in all aspects of the neurosciences. During my time in medical school, I also became interested in medical device development. Thus, I subsequently enrolled in a Masters in Applied Biomedical Engineering at the Johns Hopkins Whiting School of Engineering. Here, I also participate in a variety of clinical investigatory projects aimed at improving outcomes after surgery for brain cancers. I am mainly involved with incorporating machine learning algorithms to enhance clinical decision-making capabilities for providers.
