Matthew Borzage is a faculty researcher at the Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles with an interest in the area of neurodevelopment and a focus on flow of cerebrospinal fluid and blood in the brain. He is an assistant professor of research pediatrics at the University of Southern California Keck School of Medicine where he completed his doctoral thesis in biomedical engineering, with a focus on noninvasive methods of for assessing the developing brain.

Hydrocephalus, Cerebral Blood Flow, Ventricular Morphology
Dr. Borzage’s primary training as a biomedical engineer enables him to work with the critical technologies of noninvasive data acquisition of cerebrospinal fluid and blood in the brain – specifically MR imaging and near infrared spectroscopy - with classic analysis techniques for these technologies and to have a critical working knowledge of the nature of the pathophysiologies that commonly impact flow in the brain, including disrupted CSF flow via Chiari malformations, spina bifida, post intraventricular hemorrhagic hydrocephalus, and disruptions of cerebral blood flow via anemia, specifically sickle- cell disease and other hemoglobinopathies. Combining his research interests and capabilities enables understanding the physiology that underlies some of the most devastating neurological pathologies.
