Stephen Bowden, MD, is a PGY4 resident in neurosurgery at Oregon Health and Science University who is interested in intra-axial brain tumors in adult and pediatric populations. He recieved a Bachelor's degree in piano performance from the Manhattan School of Music before attending the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons. While there, he did a pre-doctoral fellowship under the guidance of Dr. Jeff Bruce and Dr. Peter Canoll studying fluorescence in lower grade gliomas and novel techniques for imaging vascular dysregulation in glioblastoma. Since moving to Portland, OR, his interests have evolved to include the use of fluorescence in pediatric brain tumors, medical management of intra-axial brain tumors, particularly dexamethasone, stem cell or liquid diagnosis of adult and pediatric glioma, and medical education. His time out of the hospital is spent either at the piano bench, at restaurants, or exploring the Pacific Northwest wilderness.
