Our Department of Neurosurgery is bolstered by some of the brightest minds in neuroscience — experts who dedicate their lives to discovering new breakthroughs that can change surgical care as we know it. Yet, there’s still so much to learn. 

We’re exploring new advancements in neurosurgical care through our array of clinical trials. One area of research investigates the effects of non-invasive intracranial pressure monitoring while the other delves into the potential of transcranial magnetic stimulation as a diagnostic tool for movement disorders, to name a few.

We know that great ideas can come from anywhere — from research discoveries, curious residents and even patients advocating for their health. At the Department of Medicine, we’re motivated to see the next big idea become someone’s life-changing innovation. 

Over 90% of our research is funded by the federal government or foundations, with an especially keen interest in infectious diseases, rheumatology and renal care. This funding allows us to expand our understanding of conditions and diseases so we can offer our communities the best care possible.
