About

Thanh Doan is a systems neurologist with clinical interests in seizure and movement disorders. His research focuses on computational neuroanatomy and translational neuroscience, aiming to map and modulate brain circuits for precision neurology.

He leads the Clinical Brain Systems (CBS) group at NTNU, which bridges systems neuroscience and clinical practice by integrating ultra-high-field MRI, neurophysiology, and cognitive/behavioral testing. Through this work, CBS develops circuit-based biomarkers and therapies for neurological disorders.
