    Eunsu Park, PhD

    Assistant Professor
    The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston

    Dr. Eunsu Park, PhD is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Neurosurgery at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth Houston). He received a PhD degree in 2013 in research for investigating the pathology and therapeutic strategy for Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease at Kyung Hee University, South Korea. He moved to New Jersey to receive postdoctoral training at Rutgers University from 2013 to 2016 to study therapeutic strategies for Parkinson’s disease. Afterward, he received a second postdoctoral training to study the role of microglia and macrophages from development to neurodegeneration at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York. Finally, he joined the brain arteriovenous malformation (AVM) research team at UTHealth Houston as a postdoctoral fellow in 2018. He contributed to establishing the brain AVM mouse model and was promoted to Instructor in 2019. During his instructor position, he received an R01 and was promoted to tenure-track assistant professor in neurosurgery in September 2022.
    Dr. Park's current research is centered on brain AVM pathology, particularly the role of microglia/macrophages. As the leader of the glia-vascular biology lab, he and his team are dedicated to understanding the critical vascular pathology that underlies neurological diseases, including brain AVM/hemorrhagic stroke and vascular dementia. Their collaborative efforts with the brain AVM research team, which includes Physicians and Research Scientists, are aimed at translating these findings into clinical applications, potentially leading to improved treatments and outcomes for brain AVM patients.
