Seeking Patient Care?
The Department of Neurosurgery is involved in a wide range of research studies that are vital to advancing the field of neurosurgery, including the application of endovascular device trials and treatments for brain metastasis.
Our ongoing research trials include the assessment of the genetics and molecular alterations of aneurysms, novel treatment options for aneurysms, AVMs, fistulas, stroke, cavernomas, carotid stenosis, moyamoya, and intracerebral hemorrhage.
Our division is committed to propelling the field of endovascular surgery forward through research. Our researchers focus on a broad spectrum of topics, including:
- Mechanisms and Treatments
Our physicians are part of a cerebrovascular team that performs neuroendovascular procedures such as stent placement for cervical or intracranial arteriosclerotic disease using balloon and stent technology to achieve the most favorable outcomes in the treatment of our patients.
- Diagnostic Tools and Techniques
Our research infrastructure includes a state-of-art laboratory where we conduct cutting-edge research from cellular and molecular levels to investigate endothelial cell biology, angiogenesis, and vasculogenesis. We have developed a 3-D blood vessel formation model and advanced imaging techniques to study vascular biology.
- Rehabilitation and Recovery
We aim to assess the cognitive and functional abilities of patients who undergo endovascular procedures or surgery to treat aneurysms and malformations in intracranial vessels, such as AVMs, dAVFs, and cavernous malformations. Our goal is to enhance their quality of life following surgery.
- Prevention and Public Health
Our research spans various areas, including the treatment of brain metastasis and the application of endovascular device trials. Our department also benefits from a robust research infrastructure supported by NIH funding, ranking in the top 5 neurosurgery programs nationwide.
