Summary
- Dr. Eskandari grew up in Ann Arbor, Michigan and received his bachelors in science in Biology/Neurobiology at the University of Michigan. After college Dr. Eskandari lived in Switzerland while working at a sports camp for kids. This was followed but two more years of international travel while receiving his Master’s in Medical Science. He participated in research projects in artificial vision and hydrocephalus, fueling his future research interests on this topic. His current neurosurgical interests are pediatrics hydrocephalus, epilepsy surgery, and minimally invasive treatment of pediatric neurosurgical conditions. He is the proud father of a 2 ½ year old girl and enjoys spending time with her outdoors. His outside interests include international travel, outdoor photography and cooking.
Currently, Ramin Eskandari is an Assistant Professor of Neurosurgery and the Director of Pediatric Neurosurgery at the Medical University of South Carolina. His clinical expertise focuses on the surgical management of children with disorders of the brain and spine, minimally invasive methods for treating pediatric neurosurgical disorders, and endoscopic treatment of multiple disorders. Dr. Eskandari has always had a very fervent desire to maintain basic science research alongside clinical therapeutics. He was co-principal investigator on the Hydrocephalus Association Mentored Young Investigators Grant while in residency training and has gained significant experience and knowledge with in-vivo animal models of neonatal and pediatric hydrocephalus. Currently, his laboratory has invented a novel cell culture model of elevated intracranial pressure to better assess the earliest signs of cell injury from pathologic pressure changes.
