Overview

My primary interest as a neurosurgeon-scientist is the restoration of function after the brain has been damaged. From the clinical side, I work in the areas of neurotrauma, functional neurosurgery (i.e., deep brain stimulation and epilepsy surgery), and the resection of tumors in and around eloquent brain tissue. I am interested in clinical trials examining new methods for restoring brain function, mapping brain activity after injury, and bringing new technologies such as augemented reality into the operating room. I also run a translational laboratory focused on rebuilding the circuitry of the brain using a combination of techniques drawn from stem cell biology, neural tissue engineering, and neural interface technologies.

They work closely with neurologists and other medical professionals to provide the best medical care possible to their patients.
