Doug Munoz received his PhD in neurology and neurosurgery from McGill University in 1988 and completed postdoctoral training at the National Eye Institute in Bethesda, Maryland. He joined the faculty of Queen’s University in 1991 as an assistant professor of physiology, and he is currently a professor in the departments of biomedical and molecular sciences, psychology, and medicine. He was the founding director of Queen’s Centre for Neuroscience Studies, a position he held for 17 years. The goals of his research revolve around understanding the neural circuitry controlling eye movements, pupil size regulation and eyeblinks in rhesus monkeys, and using this knowledge to probe a variety of neurological and psychiatric disorders, including Parkinson’s disease, Multisystem Atrophy, Progressive Supranuclear Palsy, Alzheimer’s disease, Huntington’s disease, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, Tourette syndrome, ADHD, bipolar disease, borderline personality disorder and major depression.
