Neurosciences Center

Clinical and research personnel in the departments of Neurosurgery and Neurology strive to improve diagnostic and treatment methods for neurological diseases. This effort includes

CyberKnife
seeking new discoveries
developing novel technologies
testing new procedures
collecting data
analyzing results
implementing the most promising therapies into clinical practice

Our Team

Each clinical program consists of a team of physicians and nurses with a subspecialty interest in one type of neurological disease. This team usually contains both neurosurgeons and physicians in allied fields. Often these clinicians maintain a close collaboration with basic scientists seeking to understand the underlying mechanisms of disease and develop new therapeutic strategies. Our ultimate goal is to develop innovative treatments that will improve our patients' health.
