Seeking Patient Care?
Our Functional Neurosurgery Division is a hub of scientific inquiry and innovation, persistently pushing the boundaries of our understanding of the brain and peripheral nervous system. We dedicate our efforts to solving some of the most intricate problems in functional neurosurgery by utilizing state-of-the-art technology and adopting novel scientific approaches.
We encourage our trainees to actively participate in research initiatives, fostering their critical thinking skills and promoting a culture of scientific innovation.
- Innovative Research in Neurosurgery
At the core of our division is our robust research program, focused on unraveling the complexities of the nervous system and restoring function to patients.
- Neuromodulation for Movement Disorders and Pain
Research into neuromodulation techniques for pain and movement disorders forms a crucial part of our endeavors. Our team works on developing innovative solutions to improve the lives of patients affected by these disorders.
- Deep Brain Stimulation Research
Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) forms one of our key research areas. We strive to understand the intricacies of this technology and its potential applications in treating various neurological conditions as well as novel brain targets. We work closely with a diverse group of basic science researchers via the Miami Project to Cure Paralysis. Through this initiative we are able to translate years of bench research into novel surgical therapies for our patients.
- Neuromodulation for Pain and Spinal Cord and Brain Injury
Alongside the Miami Project to Cure Paralysis we research revolutionary strategies for motor recovery and pain control after brain and spinal cord injury. This involves cutting edge technology on spinal cord stimulation, vagus nerve stimulation, and brain machine interface.
