Sravani Kondapavulur, MD, PhD

I received my undergraduate degree in biomedical engineering at UC Berkeley while competing for the Cal Figure Skating Team. I then completed a gap year of research with Dr. Steven Hetts at UCSF designing endovascular interventional devices for chemotherapy filtration from the blood. Afterwards, I attended the Medical Scientist Training Program at UCSF, where I completed a PhD in Bioengineering and received an NINDS F31 grant to study multi-brain region coordination of movement in healthy and stroke rodents for neuromodulation design in Karunesh Ganguly's lab. Along the way, I gained an appreciation for neural engineering and neurosurgery, and I'm looking forward to diving into research on endogenous neural control of motor behavior and how these findings can be used to design therapeutic neuromodulation.

In my free time, I enjoy figure skating, running marathons, and visiting my family dog Berkeley.
