Professor Gustafson's research is in the areas of neural engineering and neural prostheses. His research interests focus on understanding the systems-level neurophysiology and neural control of pelvic functions, and using this information to design and develop neural prostheses that interface with native spinal neural circuitry and restore physiologic function. Lower urinary tract dysfunction can have a devastating clinical impact. Therefore his efforts include developmental and pre-clinical studies to translate research advances into clinical implementation at the earliest opportunity.
