He is co-director of the Center of Excellence in Translational Therapies for Post-Stroke Rehabilitation at the Cleveland Clinic. Dr. Baker earned his Ph.D. at the University of Arizona followed by a fellowship in Movement Disorders Research in the Department of Neurology at the Cleveland Clinic. He has over twenty years of experience in deep brain stimulation, both clinically and through studies in preclinical laboratory models. His research interests emphasize the therapeutic application and mechanisms of neurostimulation-based approaches to neurologic and psychiatric disease, with a particular focus on the use of deep brain stimulation for the treatment of stroke, traumatic brain injury, and movement disorders. Current NIH-supported projects in his lab include preclinical work focused on 1) optimizing deep cerebellar stimulation to enhance chronic, post-stroke and post-traumatic brain injury rehabilitation and 2) developing and evaluating novel DBS targets and paradigms to enhance therapeutic outcomes for patients with movement disorders.
