Today, we are excited to welcome Dr. Alexandra Golby as our Keynote Speaker. Dr. Golby is a Neurosurgeon, Director of Image-guided Neurosurgery, Co-director of the Advanced Multi-modality Image Guided OR (AMIGO), and Director of the Clinical fMRI service at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. She is a Professor of Neurosurgery and Professor of Radiology at Harvard Medical School. She is also the Principal Investigator of the Golby Lab, a surgical brain mapping laboratory.
"This is an excellent opportunity to share my vantage point as a clinician,” said Dr. Golby. "I want to share with the MICCAI community the problems that we face as clinicians with the hope of solving them together."
Dr. Golby will be speaking about Innovation in Image Guided Neurosurgery: A vision towards clinical impact and equity. In her presentation, participants will gain insight into some of the challenges of brain surgery and appreciate innovations - some of which came from the MICCAI community - that have improved clinicians' ability to optimize brain surgery and remove brain tumors successfully.
Dr. Golby will be presenting her keynote address today at 9:30 am in the Orion Tent (Main Hall). Don't miss it!
Alexandra Golby is a Professor of Neurosurgery and a Professor of Radiology at Harvard Medical School and holds the Haley Distinguished Chair in the Neurosciences at Brigham and Women's Hospital. She is also the Principal Investigator of the Golby Lab, a surgical brain mapping laboratory.
Dr. Golby's research and clinical practice focus on image-guided neurosurgery, particularly on patients with brain tumors and epilepsy, and especially those with lesions which are associated with critical brain structures. Her translational research is focussed on advanced imaging and image guidance to improve care for patients undergoing intracranial neurosurgery. She has developed numerous technologies to help guide presurgical planning and intraoperative decision making.
Dr. Golby is also a recent Fulbright Global Scholar pursuing work to foster interdisciplinary collaborations between technical experts and clinicians in Rwanda and Morocco.
