Biography

Albert J. Fenoy, MD, is a board-certified neurosurgeon with expertise in deep brain stimulation for movement disorders such as Parkinson’s disease, tremor and dystonia, and psychiatric diseases such as obsessive-compulsive disorder and depression. He also specializes in neuromodulation procedures for chronic pain, as well as surgery for neck and back degenerative disease, including minimally invasive techniques.

Dr. Fenoy received his undergraduate degree from Princeton University and his medical degree at the State University of New York at Stony Brook. He completed his residency in neurosurgery at the University of Iowa and went on to complete a fellowship in functional neurosurgery at the Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Grenoble, France, in December 2008.

Dr. Fenoy is a member of Alpha Omega Alpha, the Congress of Neurological Surgeons and the American Academy of Neurological Surgeons. Also holding a faculty appointment in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Dr. Fenoy has been critical in developing at McGovern Medical School at UTHealth an FDA-approved clinical trial on the use of deep brain stimulation in treatment-resistant depression. The UTHealth Neuroscience deep brain stimulation program is indeed robust: Dr. Fenoy has performed over 600 deep brain stimulation procedures since joining in 2009.

Dr. Fenoy has presented research at several national and international conferences that has subsequently been published inMovement Disorders,Journal of Neurosurgery,Brain Research,Neuromodulation,Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery, andTranslational Psychiatry. His research has focused on the use of diffusion tensor imaging and optimization strategies for targeting in deep brain stimulation, on the electrophysiology of the basal ganglia and response to neuromodulation, and on biomarkers of response to neuromodulation therapy in treatment-resistant depression. Dr. Fenoy has also recently been awarded a 5-year $2.1 million National Institutes of Health R01 grant to study the temporality of structural and functional connectivity changes in Essential Tremor after deep brain stimulation, a prestigious achievement.
