Borden graduated from Amherst College in Amherst, Massachusetts with a Bachelor of Arts in Neuroscience and Yale University School of Medicine. He completed his internship and residency in Neurosurgery at Tufts University in Boston, Massachusetts.

His scientific work has involved the application of computer science to neurobiology. His earliest work used artificial intelligence techniques to model neurochemical networks in the brain. He used computer graphics techniques to analyze the results of traditional molecular biological experiments. Working in the laboratory of Elias Manuelidis and Laura Manuelidis at Yale School of Medicine, he authored papers on the organization of interphase chromosomes in human brain tissue [1] [2] [3].

At Tufts-New England Medical Center he developed the Borden Classification of Dural Arteriovenous Fistulas ([4][5]).

Dr. Borden was an Assistant Professor of Neurosurgery at Tufts University in Boston from 1995 to 2002. He was the director of the Boston Gamma Knife Center. He and Tim Bray are co-editors of the RDDL specification[6]. He authored the XMTP specification[7]. He is an advisor for the Science Directorate of NASA, has been an invited expert for the World Wide Web Consortium Web Ontology Working Group and has been actively involved in the development and standardization of XML based electronic medical records [8].

He currently resides in Cincinnati, Ohio where he is a Neurosurgeon specializing in minimally invasive neurosurgery. He practices Gamma Knife Radiosurgery at the Wallace Kettering Memorial Medical Center in Dayton, Ohio. He practices minimally invasive complex spine surgery at Bethesda North Hospital in Montgomery, Ohio including motion preserving procedures such as Dynesys dynamic stabilization, Charite total disc arthroplasty, Fernstrom nucleoplasty and transformaminal lumbar interbody fusions (TLIF).
