Associate Professor
Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai
Edgewater, New Jersey, United States
Dr. Choi is an associate professor at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, a biomedical engineer, and a multimodal neuroimaging expert, primarily focusing on structural connectome-based surgical targeting for deep brain stimulation in various neurological and psychiatric disorders. Over the last ten years, Dr. choi has gained intensive experience in neuromodulation, working with Subcallosal Cingulate (SCC) DBS research for treatment-resistant depression. He identified critical brain networks, connectomic DBS, that mediate SCC DBS antidepressant response and established a connectome-based targeting method on this network. It has improved the clinical efficacy of SCC DBS from 41% to over 80%. This novel method is currently being applied in the clinical trial. Furthermore, this approach is now expanding to DBS in Obsessive-compulsive disorder, schizophrenia, and essential tremors.
