Kathleen E Cullen is an American-Canadian Biomedical Engineer and Neuroscientist. She is known for her work, combining computational and systems neuroscience to understand how the brain encodes and processes self-motion (vestibular) information to ensure the maintenance of balance and stable perception [1], [2]. Her research also focuses on extending this knowledge to further advance the development of novel diagnostic tools, treatments, training, and rehabilitative strategies for patients[3].
Cullen is a Professor of Biomedical Engineering, Neuroscience, Otolaryngology, and Head and Neck Surgery at the Johns Hopkins University[4],[5],[6]. She is the co-director of the Center for Hearing and Balance at the Whiting School of Engineering and Johns Hopkins School of Medicine[7]. She is also the President-Elect for the Society for the Neural Control of Movement[8].
Education
Cullen completed a B.S. degree in Neuroscience and Biomedical Enginering at Brown University in 1984 and a Ph.D. at The University of Chicago in 1991 with Drs. Robert A. McCrea and Jay M. Goldberg[3],[9].
Career
Cullen was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Montreal Neurological Institute of McGill University (1991-1993). In 1994, she joined the Department of Physiology at McGill University as an Assistant Professor, with concurrent appointments in Biomedical Engineering, Neuroscience, and Otolaryngology. She became an Associate Professor in 2000 and a full Professor in 2006. While at McGill, Dr. Cullen also served as Director of McGill’s Aerospace Medical Research Unit and on the Scientific Advisory Board of the NASA-associated National Space Biomedical Research Institute (NSBRI, USA)[10] In 2016, Dr. Cullen moved to Johns Hopkins University where she is now a Professor in Biomedical Engineering and holds joint appointments in the Departments of Neuroscience and Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery[4],[5],[6].
