I received a BA focusing on fianance and medical science from the Western University, Canada. I subsquently undertook my medical studies in Europe at the Medical University of Lodz. Then I pursued a clinical Master of Science in Neurosurgery, at the Institute of Medical Science at the University of Toronto, Canada under the supervision of Professor Michael G. Fehlings. During the thesis, I proposed the now adopted terminology of "Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy" which has since been adopted by guidelines and stakeholders as the terminology for conditions classically referring to cervical degenerative diseases with myelopathy.
I subsqeuently pursused further clinical research as a postdoctoral fellow at Toronto Western Hospital with Professor Michael Fehlings, as a Postodoctoral Associate and Fellow in Neurosurgery at Yale University and University of Cincinnati with Professor Joseph Cheng.
I began my clinical and surgical training by starting neurosurgical residency in Geneva University Hospitals in Switzerland and I was the first resident to have a dedicated spine trauma year at my institution working conjointly with orthopedic and neurosurgical consultants.
During this time, I have received numerous awards and PI funding of over 100,000USD for clinical research projects. I have also started a clinical consultation dediated to Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy.
For my last year of neurosurgical training, I received a prestiguous full training scholarship by Geneva University Hospitals to train anywhere abroad for 1 year, and subsequently decided to pursue fellowship training with Dr. Mark Kotter at the University of Cambridge.
At the present time, I have ~100 peer-reviewed publications, and have presented over 100 abstracts and been invited to speak and debate at conferences including EANS and CSRS-Europe.
My clinical interests are in neurotrauma and spine, particularly complex cervical spine surgery.
