Dr. Jordan Amadio: NEURALINK - The Future of Brain/Machine Interface
Jordan Amadio, M.D., is a board-certified neurosurgeon, and his clinical practice focuses on minimally invasive spine surgery, surgical neuro-oncology and neurotrauma. Amadio received his medical education at Harvard Medical School and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology before completing a neurosurgery residency at Emory University. At Emory, he pursued research fellowships as a Council of State Neurosurgical Societies socioeconomic fellow and a Congress of Neurological Surgeons innovation fellow. He also earned an MBA from Harvard Business School, with emphasis on medical technology innovation. As affiliated faculty and a National Institutes of Health-funded investigator within Texas Robotics, he works with robotics experts to build next-generation tools and implants for spine surgery. Previously, he co-founded the NeuroLaunch incubator for neurotechnology startups and has since advised dozens of medical technology ventures. Outside his academic work, Amadio is closely involved with the development of brain-computer interface technology as a director of neurosurgery at Neuralink. Amadio is deeply committed to mentoring the next generation of physicians and enjoys teaching students and residents. As a way of giving back, he has also been active in providing neurosurgical care to socioeconomically challenged populations, from Texas to Mirebalais, Haiti.
