Down to Earth (Episode 93)

U2FP CureCast

Today we are speaking with Dimitry Sayenko. Dimitry is an MD, PhD and an associate professor in Neuromodulation and Nuerosurgery at Houston Methodist Hospital, in Houston, Texas. Our conversation starts off with an exploration of Dimitry’s fascinating beginnings, studying muscle atrophy and bone density in the context of aerospace in both Russia and the U.S. We also talk about his current work studying transcutaneous electrical stimulation and end with a lively exchange of when new discoveries should be implemented in the population. It’s a great conversation that addresses the balance between a researcher’s drive for mechanism and safeguards against the burning desire of the community for functional recovery and risk assessment.
