About Me
I am the vice chair for Academic Affairs and director of the Skull Base and Pituitary Surgery Programs at the OSUCCC – James. I joined The Ohio State University in 2010 and became a professor in 2017.
My medical journey began in Brazil, where I attended medical school and finished my residency. I then completed a fellowship in neuroendocrine and pituitary surgery at the University of Virginia and another in skull base and cerebrovascular surgery at the University of Pittsburgh.
I specialize in brain and skull base tumors, and I am a pioneer in endoscopic endonasal approach (EEA) and other minimally invasive techniques for brain tumor removal. I am one of only a few neurosurgeons in the world who have performed more than 1,000 EEA cases. This technique allows surgeons to access the base of the skull, the intracranial cavity and the top of the spine by operating through the nose and paranasal sinuses.
My current research focuses on developing minimally invasive approaches to the brain and skull base that will result in the best surgical tumor resection possible with the least amount of disruption to normal tissue.
Our individualized patient approach, combined with opportunities for research, makes The James a very fulfilling place to work. There are few places that offer the types of highly specialized surgery that we do, and I’m proud to be a part of our patients’ care.
