Professor of Neurology & Biomedical Engineering
Duke University School of Medicine
Dr. Wayne Feng is the Chief of Division of Stroke & Vascular Neurology, Director of Duke Comprehensive Stroke Center, and a Tenured Profess of Neurology and Biomedical Engineering at Duke University School of Medicine. Dr. Feng is a board-certified vascular neurologist as well as a physician scientist. His research portfolios include developing imaging biomarker for post-stroke motor outcomes prediction, and use of non-invasive brain stimulation tools, such as, transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), vagus nerve stimulation (VNS), low intensity focused ultrasound stimulation (LIFUS) and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to enhance post-stroke recovery. His research has been actively funded by the National Institute of Health (NIH), the American Heart Association (AHA) and other various sources. He is currently leading an NIH funded TRANSPORT2 (TRANScranial direct current stimulation for POst-stroke motor Recovery – a phase II sTudy) on the NINDS funded stroke trial network. In total, he has secured 20 million$ (total cost) from the NIH as the contact PI or Co-PI since he started his first faculty position in 2011 (including P50, U01, U24, R01 and UG3UH3).
Dr. Feng has published 150+ peer reviewed manuscripts (H index of 41). Dr. Feng received several prestigious awards for his research work in stroke and stroke recovery including the FIRST “Stroke Rehabilitation Award” from the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association in 2015, “Franz Gerstenbrand Award” from World Federation of Neurorehabilitation (WFNR) in 2016, Arthur Guyton New Investigator Award, Consortium for Southeastern Hypertension Control (COSEHC) in 2016 and “Clinical Investigator Award” from the Society of Chinese American Physician Entrepreneur (SCAPE). Currently, he is the Section Chair of Neural Repair & Rehabilitation, American Academy of Neurology. He leads the global mentoring program for the WFNR and is the training director for the NIH strokenet recovery fellow cohort.
