Summary

I received my medical, surgical, neurosurgical, and cancer training at the Harvard Medical School and its associated hospital. I have been privileged to serve in leadership positions at McGill, Northwestern, Moffitt Cancer Center, and the University of Pennsylvania. I am a patient advocate and currently serve on the medical/scientific advisory boards of the American Brain Tumor Association, the National Brain Tumor Society, the Florida Brain Tumor Association, Voices Against Brain Cancer, and the Central Brain Tumor Registry of the United States. I chaired the NCCN brain tumor panel from 2006 to 2011, the committee that sets the guidelines for brain tumor care in the United States. My research centers on brain mapping and developing new technologies, such as angiogenesis inhibitors, to block brain cancer growth. I have operated on more than 3500 patients with brain tumors, each time the goal has been simple: to remove the tumor while keeping the patient whole. At the University of Pennsylvania, I am surrounded by outstanding experts in related fields of radiation and medical oncology, translational medicine, neurology, genomics and neuroimaging.
