Research Focus
David Richard Myers' lab at Emory University focuses on developing innovative medical devices, particularly for measuring brain pressure. They are creating a new type of implanted pressure sensor that uses ultrasound technology to provide more accurate and stable intracranial pressure readings. This research aims to improve patient outcomes for those with neurological conditions by overcoming the limitations of current pressure monitoring devices.

Career totals from OpenAlex, compared against labs that share a department. A department spans everything from one paper to tens of thousands, so bar heights are on a log scale — otherwise the largest lab would flatten every other bar to a line.
