This is what well worn #shoes of a #surgeon looks like! Almost 10 years … wish I had counted the #steps they walked me around @uhn ⁦@pmcancercentre⁩ ⁦@UofTNeuroSurge⁩ ⁦@KBI_UHN⁩ ⁦@UHN_Research⁩ Hard to part with them … but it’s time !!

@NasajpourEmon @belguinle @garciaCesar_A The teamwork displayed for this molecular case report was truly amazing and I am very grateful for the opportunity to be part of it.

Got word today that our paper on Novel CDC42BPA::BRAF Fusion in Desmoplastic Infantile Ganglioglioma/Astrocytoma has been accepted for publication. Congratulations, @belguinle @garciaCesar_A @petritschlab

#CancerNeuroscience work by the brilliant postdoc @Kathryn_RTaylor published (open access) today demonstrates that malignant gliomas #DIPG #GBM recruit mechanisms of synaptic plasticity to drive cancer growth. A thread… (1/ ) nature.com/articles/s4158…

An accurate diagnosis can help ensure the best treatment for rare brain and spinal cord tumors. @NCIResearchCtr's Dr. Zied Abdullaev explains how patterns of chemical methyl marks on the DNA of cancer cells can help classify #RareCNSTumors more precisely. cancer.gov/rare-brain-spi…

Congratulations to our undergraduate researcher Caitlynn Tran ‘25 on her acceptance to the highly competitive Amgen Scholars Program this summer at Kyoto University. She will be conducting research under Dr. Fuyuhiko Tamanoi studying nanoparticles as cancer therapy. @ASP_GPO

We welcome @Stanford undergraduate Brandon Bui to the @petritschlab – supervised by our talented Dr. Lulu Xing @luluxing112. Thank you to the Wu Tsai NeURO fellowship program for supporting Brandon. Congratulations Brandon! @StanfordBrain

We are very grateful for Stanford Neurosurgery’s huge support!

What controls the morphology of #myelin sheaths to enable them to fine-tune conduction velocity? TL;DR: Calcium (Ca2+) signaling; a.k.a. nature’s ultimate multitasker! Read our new pre-print to find out more, led by grad student @_manasi_iyer_! 🧵👇(1/n)

.@XinnanwangL and her lab, have focused on how Parkinson's leads to defects in mitochondrial function. With their discoveries, there is the hope of detecting Parkinson’s in its earliest stages before symptoms start. #ParkinsonsAwarenessMonth Learn more: med.stanford.edu/neurosurgery/n…

Happy to participate in the Early Career Neurosurgeon Reception at #AANS2023 along with honored guest @HaydenGephartMD from @StanfordNsurg Additional attendees include @RandyDAmico_MD, #IsabelleGermano and @DrWallyMD Check us out at 6:30 pm on Sunday at the JW Marriott!

@FilbinMariella @emacalate @DanaFarber @StJude Congratulations Mariella and Stephen, well deserved.

Incredibly honored to be awarded an Impact Award from the DOD together with terrific friend and colleague Dr. Stephen Mack (@emacalate). Together, we will develop new therapeutics for children with ependymoma. Another great collaboration between @DanaFarber + @StJude. 🔥🎉🚀

Such great experience to share our work @cshlmeetings Brain Barriers 2021 #cshlbbb ! We enjoyed all the interactions, suggestions, and shared expertise. Congratulations to the organizers for a great meeting. @StanfordNsurg
