Great 3 weeks having Rodrigo Racy from @FCMSCSP 🇧🇷 as an observer @MGHNeurosurg. Very bright future ahead in neurosurgery and we are lucky that part of his journey happened here in Boston.

- Truly an honor to present this work at @CNS_Update on behalf of the highly collaborative effort spanning a decade. Changing standard of care in tumor diagnostics through teamwork. @MGHNeuroSci @MGHPathology @MGHNeuroOnc @BobCarterMD @BrianNahedDr. Ganesh Shankar (@ShankarLabMGH) delivered a main stage (#CNS2023) update on translating CSF liquid biopsies into real world clinical practice.The ability to quickly diagnose & administer the right care using liquid biopsy is a crucial step forward for our patients!
- Inaugural tweet to share first paper from Shankar Lab. Collaborative effort with @MGHNeurosurg, @MGHPathology, @MGHNeuroOnc, @MGHNeuroSci. Accelerating diagnosis of CNS lymphoma from 10 days to 80min from an LP; potentially reducing need for invasive brain biopsies.
- From the OR to the bench with rising superstars @Margaret_Sten and Joe Bradley. Life as a neurosurgeon scientist is not only possible, but incredibly fulfilling, with the right team and support. @BobCarterMD @MGHNeuroSci @MGHNeurosurg @NINDSfunding #dreamjob
- Privileged to be a part of this @NatureComms study. A proof of concept that wearable technology can assess the integrity of spinal instrumentation. A collaborative effort with @MIT, @BrighamWomens, @MGBneurosurgery, @CUHKofficial, @ZJU_China. rdcu.be/dTiUF
- A special treat to have Dr Chetan Bettegowda of @HopkinsNsurg for the Brian D. Silber Lecture @MGHNeurosurg Grand Rounds. Inspiring tour de force perspectives on cancer genetics, liquid biopsies and the future of brain tumor therapeutics! #Trailblazer
- Thank you @BobCarterMD for the years of support during this incredible journey @MGHNeurosurg and now @MGBneurosurgery. Very lucky to be surrounded by talented colleagues, collaborators, residents, and staff who make dreams within reach for our patients from around the 🌎.A special shout out to Dr. Ganesh Shankar, @ShankarLabMGH, newly promoted to Associate Professor @harvardmed. When you become a new leader, your first hires set a tone of excellence for your tenure. I could not be more proud of Dr. Shankar's accomplishments in clinical
- Congrats to @IDavidConnolly for being selected for @spinesection Kuntz Award for groundbreaking studies visualizing mechanisms of spinal fusion! @MGHNeurosurg @MGHNSResidency
- Proud to share our findings in @NeuroOnc representing a 5 year multidisciplinary study: Radical surgical resection with molecular margins is associated with improved survival in IDH wild-type glioblastoma
- It is a major privilege to work alongside Dr Borges, @jvcoumans, @Twilli7, @zivwilliamslab, and Dr Brown of @MGHParalysis and @MoHadzipasic . This is a unique moment in Boston to develop the new standard of multiD collaborative spine care across @MGBneurosurgery for our patients.
- So proud of @MoHadzipasic and his Research Grant award from #NASS2021 to study the underpinnings of #spinalstenosis. Exciting practice changing science to follow! Enabling support from @MGHNeurosurg @JohnHShinMD.
- Such an honor to be on this #SNO2023 panel moderated by Dr Bilsky @MSKCancerCenter and @WTCNeuroscience with @ShannonMacDonMD, @DeanChouMD and Dr Kristin Redmond @JHMRadOnc.Leading off the session: Personalized therapy in Spine Oncology, @ShankarLabMGH representing @MGHNeurosurg #SNO2023
- An honor to spend the day with the iconic @UB_Neurosurgery. Absolutely stunning infrastructure for care delivery, innovation and education. Special thanks to @EladLevyMD and @JCappuzzoMD for the invitation and to the UBNS residents for the hospitality!
- Special thanks to @DePuySynthes for supporting full day Saturday Spine Anatomy Lab for @MGHNSResidency with case discussions by @MGHNeurosurg faculty and residents. MIS to open, 360 spinal column exposure, skull to pelvis. Invaluable educational experience.
