Assistant Professor
University of Kansas Medical Center
Jordan A. Borrell, PhD, is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Occupational Therapy Education at the University of Kansas Medical Center (KUMC) where he is developing rehabilitation paradigms after neurological and neuro-muscular injury and amputation. His goal is understand the neural plasticity that occurs after injury and the neural biomarkers associated with pain. While at KUMC, he became certified in the clinical use of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) from the Medical University of South Carolina. He completed his post-doctoral training as a Research Associate in the Department of Biomechanics at the University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO). While at UNO, he directed the functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) research in the Additive Manufacturing Laboratory under the guidance of Jorge Zuniga, PhD. Prior to arriving at UNO, he received his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Bioengineering from the University of Kansas. His dissertation work incorporated acute and chronic neuromodulatory techniques in a preclinical model of spinal cord injury under the supervision of Randy Nudo, PhD, in the Cortical Plasticity Laboratory at the University of Kansas Medical Center. He received his B.A. in Physics from Hastings College.
