About Brian Mossop
I received a BS in Electrical Engineering from Lafayette College, and a PhD in Biomedical Engineering from Duke University in 2006, where I worked on electric field-mediated gene and drug delivery, primarily for cancer treatment. My postdoc work was at UCSF, then a few Bay Area companies, and now I focus on basic neuroscience and neurodegenerative disease (using electrophysiology and imaging).
I am excited to be a contributor to The Decision Tree blog, because I believe the concepts we discuss will help create a more proactive health care system, where consumers and patients take initiative in the prevention and treatment of disease. I have worked in multidisciplinary teams since moving into the biomedical field, and I have learned that progress is best made when you look at problems from different points of view. I hope to continue this philosophy here at the Decision Tree, and leverage my scientific training to address some of the issues facing the rise of predictive medicine in society.
