Dr. Jinsook Roh is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Houston (UH), TX. Her research program is focused on understanding the neural mechanisms of motor coordination in healthy and pathological populations (esp. stroke) and translating resultant scientific findings to Neural Engineering and Neurorehabilitation (ex. developing novel therapeutic targets for stroke rehabilitation). She holds her graduate degree in Systems and Computational Neuroscience at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), with undergraduate Physics background.

Before joining the University of Houston, she completed a post-doctoral fellowship at Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago (#1 rehabilitation research hospital for > 25 years in the US) and at Northwestern University. She has implemented research projects to identify and characterize abnormalities in synergistic muscle coordination in stroke survivors. Dr. Roh was an American Heart Association Postdoctoral Fellowship awardee. She served Temple University as an assistant professor before moving to UH. Dr. Roh currently performs research projects supported by extramural funds supported by American Heart Association and NIH.
