Summary

  • Dr. Feng attended Xiangya Medical School, followed by graduate school at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. He had an opportunity working with Dr. Edward Taub on Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy for stroke recovery. He worked 4 years as a professional statistician in Eli Lilly & Company before he started neurology residency at Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) and stroke fellowship at Harvard Medical School/Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, then back to MUSC started as an assistant professor in 2011.
    Currently, Dr. Feng is the Chief of Stroke & Vascular Division at Duke University Medical Center. He is double board-certified in Neurology and Vascular Neurology. He is one of few pioneering stroke neurologists who provide tele-stroke care and expand care to rural areas around clock. His clinical practice mainly focuses on stroke recovery & Rehabilitation, and post-stroke spasticity management. He is a fellow of the American Neurological Association and American Stroke Association. He is on the list of “American Top Physicians in Neurology.
    His research focuses on: 1) stroke outcomes research; 2) development an imaging biomarker for post-stroke motor outcomes prediction, and 3) use transcranial direct current as a tool to enhance post-stroke motor recovery in stroke patients. The sources of funding are from National Institute of Health, American Heart Association as well as industry. He is the recipient of FIRST stroke rehabilitation award by International Stroke Conference and Franz Gertstenbrand Award from the World Federation of Neurorehabilitation. He is currently leading an NIH funded multi-center phase II dosing selection study for transcranial direct current stimulation for post-stroke motor recovery.
