Summary
- I am a neurological surgeon who specializes in the resection of brain, spinal cord, pituitary and brainstem tumors. I also serve as professor and chair of the Department of Neurological Surgery at The Ohio State University College of Medicine. I hold the Dardinger Family Chair in Neurosurgical Oncology. Previously, I was chief of the Surgical Neurology Branch at the National Institutes of Health.
My research includes nervous system drug delivery, gene therapy and tumor biology. I have authored more than 300 publications. I received the Tumor Young Investigator Award and the Mahaley Clinical Research Award from the American Association of Neurological Surgeons (AANS)/Congress of Neurological Surgeons (CNS) Tumor Section. Additionally, I was the AANS/CNS Tumor Section Bittner Lecturer and the American Academy of Neurological Surgery Edward H. Oldfield Lecturer.
I have served as treasurer and president of the CNS, and I am currently a director on the American Board of Neurological Surgeons. I was the head of the research subcommittee in Head, Neck and Spine Injury Committee for the National Football League and have served on the editorial boards of NEUROSURGERY, World Neurosurgery, Journal of Neurosurgery, PLoS One and Science Reports. I am also consulting editor for Neurosurgery Clinics of North America and have edited three neurosurgical textbooks.
