Summary
- I am a board-certified brain tumor surgeon, with expertise in surgery for glioma, glioblastoma, pituitary tumors, meningioma and metastases. I utilize minimally invasive approaches, such as endoscopy and laser ablation, awake language and motor mapping, and intraoperative imaging adjuncts, to maximize the safety of procedures. I also run an NIH-funded laboratory that studies the biology of glioma and human neural development.
