Nolan Brown is a fourth year medical student with a passion for neurosurgery who is interested in spinal dural repair techniques in spine surgery, GBM blood biomarkers, and improvement of outcomes in surgery for pituitary and other skull base tumors. Currently, my team and I are 1) working on translation of our patented dural repair device/technique from bench to bedside 2) analyzing our institutional data to inform future developments in skull base surgery and 3) developing a novel detection assay for GBM.
