Dr. David Lin is a physician scientist at Massachusetts General Hospital. He is the Director of the MGH NeuroRecovery Clinic and an Assistant Professor of Neurology at Harvard Medical School.

In his clinical practice, Dr. Lin cares for patients with acute neurologic injuries including stroke, brain hemorrhage, traumatic brain injury, seizures, and spinal cord injury in the MGH Neurosciences Critical Care Unit. He provides recommendations to facilitate best possible recovery for patients in the MGH NeuroRecovery clinic. In his research program, Dr. Lin directs the Laboratory for Translational Recovery, the mission of which is to inform neurorehabilitation for patients recovering after stroke by understanding systems neuroscience mechanisms of motor function and recovery.
