Dr. Chua is an assistant professor in the Department of Neurology and Division of Movement Disorders at Johns Hopkins. He received his training at the University of Michigan, where he obtained medical and graduate degrees, then completed a residency in neurology and a combined clinical/research fellowship in movement disorders and neurodegeneration. Dr. Chua’s primary research interests are in neurodegenerative disease with a special focus on autophagy — an essential housekeeping process in cells that is particularly important for the health of neurons. Autophagy may provide a way to break down the buildup of toxic proteins found in neurodegenerative diseases, thereby forming the basis of new treatment strategies for these incurable conditions. He has received multiple research grants to support his work, including from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke and the American Academy of Neurology (AAN). He is the primary author and co-author of multiple peer-reviewed scientific publications and online learning modules as part of the AAN. Dr. Chua is a contributing author to The Little Black Book of Neurology by Osama Zaidat, Alan Lerner and J. Douglas Miles, and he has been a peer reviewer for the scientific journals Autophagy, eLife and Neurobiology of Disease. He currently serves on the scientific advisory board for the Don't Forget Morgan Foundation, a private organization supporting research and outreach regarding the disease beta-propeller protein-associated neurodegeneration (BPAN).

Dr. Gordon is the Section Chief of Neuroplastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Director for the Johns Hopkins Neuroplastic and Reconstructive Surgery fellowship, Professor of Plastic-Reconstructive Surgery and Neurological Surgery at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, and Principal Investigator of the Neuroplastic Surgery Laboratory at Johns Hopkins. He also chairs the Annual Harvard-Hopkins Neuroplastic Surgery Symposium and is the inaugural President for the Society of Neuroplastic Surgery.Dr. Gordon has performed several "first-in-human" surgeries with state-of-the-art cranial implants and holds numerous patents for patient-specific craniofacial implants and computer-assisted/robot-assisted technologies.With advanced training in adult craniomaxillofacial surgery, his clinical expertise includes neuroplastic surgery, which encompasses reconstructive surgery in the craniofacial, skull and scalp regions. Over the last nine years, he has developed this new subspecialty with strong collaboration alongside Neurosurgery. His main concentration involves optimizing reconstructive outcomes for adult neurosurgical patients including brain/skull tumor, head trauma, epilepsy, hydrocephalus, and neurofibromatosis.Dr. Gordon serves as the co-director of the Multidisciplinary Adult Cranioplasty Center with Dr. Judy Huang in the Department of Neurosurgery. He is responsible for coordinating complex craniofacial reconstructions alongside a large group of dedicated neurosurgeons and multidisciplinary specialists at the Johns Hopkins Hospital. During his residency at the Cleveland Clinic, Dr. Gordon was involved in the country's first face transplant in December 2008 as a team surgeon and project coordinator. For his work related to the nation’s first face transplant, the Cleveland Clinic presented Dr. Gordon the Bruce Hubbard Stewart Memorial Award for Humanistic Medicine.Dr. Gordon received his doctor of osteopathic medicine degree at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine. He completed a residency in plastic-reconstructive surgery at the Cleveland Clinic and a fellowship in adult craniomaxillofacial surgery at Harvard Medical School, Massachusetts General Hospital.Dr. Gordon's main research interests include neuroplastic surgery, adult craniofacial surgery, cranioplasty, and customized cranial implants. In 2015, Dr. Gordon became an Associate Editor for the prestigious Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, serving under Editor-in-Chief Mutaz Habal, M.D. This journal is recognized as the leading international journal for the specialty of craniofacial surgery, and is now the official journal of the Society of Neuroplastic Surgery, for which Dr. Gordon serves as President. In addition, Dr. Gordon serves as an associate editor for the Annals of Plastic Surgery.Dr. Gordon has received numerous awards, including the National Academic Scholar Award by the American Association of Plastic Surgeons, the Accelerated Translational Incubator Pilot Program Award from the Johns Hopkins Institute for Clinical and Translational Research, the Maryland Innovation Initiative Award from TEDCO and the ABELL Foundation Award for his research on cranial implants, cranioplasty, and computer-assisted/robot-assisted craniomaxillofacial surgery.
