I am an Academic Consultant Neurosurgeon and Honorary Associate Professor with a broad clinical experience including complex neurosurgical procedures. My extensive training includes a subspecialty fellowship and Academic Clinical Lectureship at Queen Square and the UCL Cancer Institute. I also hold a PhD in Molecular Neurobiology from the University of Cambridge.
In my practice, I specialise in the treatment neurosurgical conditions, including both benign and malignant brain tumours, brain metastasis, cavernomas, facial pain, and degenerative spinal diseases. My approach combines the most advanced surgical techniques such as intraoperative MRI, radiosurgery, awake surgeries, and advanced mapping techniques to provide the highest quality care. I am committed to safe, minimally invasive high-quality care. I am dedicated to ensuring patient autonomy and choice, believing that informed and empowered patients are essential to achieving the best outcomes.
My academic goals are to gain new insights into fundamental biological mechanisms and translate these discoveries into patient care. I strive to build collaborative research networks that foster academic-clinical integration and support clinicians who wish to contribute to basic science research. I have an extensive research portfolio with over 70 peer-reviewed publications. My research, funded by prestigious organizations such as the Wellcome Trust and Cancer Research UK, focuses on the fundamental biology of brain tumors and neuronal injury responses in malignant gliomas. I founded the Queen Square Gamma Knife Radiosurgery Research Collaborative. I run several clinical trials focussed on improving the care of patients with neurological disorders.
My commitment is to deliver high-quality, compassionate care that enhances the quality of life for my patients while advancing our understanding and treatment of brain tumors and other neurosurgical conditions.
