Clemens joined the Brain Modulation Lab in 2021. He completed his MD at the Medical University of Innsbruck, Austria and the Medical Faculty at the University of Cologne, Germany. Following two years of neurosurgery residency he pursued a postdoctoral fellowship in Andres Lozano’s lab at the Toronto Western Hospital, Canada focusing on neuroimaging approaches to elucidate the local and network effects of deep brain stimulation (DBS) in movement disorders and psychiatric diseases. Upon completion, Clemens returned to Germany and joined the NetStim lab headed by Andy Horn at Charité Berlin focusing on personalized (symptom and disease-specific) approaches to neuromodulation therapy. In the Brain Modulation Lab, Clemens is involved in multiple projects covering the indication spectrum of functional neurosurgery, ranging from movement disorders to epilepsy. He leads the neuroimaging core of the lab implementing and maintaining the imaging pipeline used for preoperative planning, intraoperative guidance, and postoperative analysis. His research seeks to integrate connectomics, electrophysiology, genetics, and clinical outcomes to define optimal targets of clinical response.
