Researching brain tumors and degenerative spine diseases
Another stellar Spine Lab Day @JNJMedTech for @MGBneurosurgery, @BIDMChealth, @harvardmed, @NEBHortho led by dedicated faculty, spanning skull to pelvis, open to MIS, and emerging tech. #spine #alwayslearning
Exciting to watch Eric Esposito’s trajectory as a 💫 in neurosurgery! @MGHNeurosurg @MGBneurosurgery @spinesection
Our stellar @ShankarLabMGH @harvardmed medstudent, Eric Esposito, presenting our work on the biological basis of pseudoarthrosis and the next generation of osteobiologics at @spinesection in Tampa, FL. #spinesummit2025
Welcome Dr. Muhamed (Mo) Hadzipasic to the MGB Neurosurgery Department! 🎉 Dr. Hadzipasic, our newest Spine Neurosurgeon, will complete his fellowship in complex spine surgery at the Cleveland Clinic this summer before officially starting with us in August 2025. In addition to…
Full house for inaugural Boston-wide spine journal club - @MGBneurosurgery, @TuftsMedicalCtr, @NEBHortho. Great evening of discussion and collaboration. Thx to @GlobusMedical for supporting event. First of many!
Insightful reflections on 4 month MGH Spine rotation by @MGHNSResidency Chief @gnfriedman. Star studded team including @FaithCRobertson and #DrWillSmith caring for our spine patients. @jvcoumans @Twilli7 #DrBorges @MGHNeurosurg
Great to be a part of this standing room @CNS_Update symposium - learned so much from co-faculty! Thank you to @RushnaAli6 and @JuliePilitsis for organizing.
Wonderful interdisciplinary symposium on lumbar spine pain @painsection @spinesection @CNS_Update #2024CNS @JuliePilitsis @nsurgchick @PinckardMd @StaudtMD @ChenWuMD @SeizureSurgeon @daviddarrow @lwm208 @deborahbenzil
In awe of the decades-long tireless efforts by @briansilberfund to advance the diagnosis and treatment of spinal tumors!
Honored to be recognized and start the race! Thank you to all of our supporters! @MGHCancerCenter @BryanDChoi @ShankarLabMGH @MGBneurosurgery
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
Dr. Yi Lu, Dr. Kevin Huang, and Dr. Ganesh Shankar from MGB Neurosurgery teaching Harvard Medical School residents yesterday in the DePuy Spine Future leaders course! @MGHNeurosurg @BWHNeurosurgery @DePuySynthes #HarvardMedicalSchool #MGBNeurosurgery
Liquid biopsy for CNS lymphoma. Neurosurgeons are often asked to provide tissue biopsy but the varied presentation and imaging in CNS lymphoma can take time to come to biopsy. Direct CSF genotyping, as developed in the @ShankarLabMGH @MGHNeurosurg can shrink the time to…
Thanks to @DePuySynthes for hosting a spine lab for neuro and ortho trainees across Boston. Exposure to key anatomy and evolving technologies. Shout out to co-faculty Dr. Lu, Dr. Pittman and Dr. Huang. @MGHNeurosurg @BWHNeurosurgery @MGBneurosurgery @BIDMChealth @MGHNSResidency
Thank you to @MassGenBrigham for profiling this collaborative effort across @MGBneurosurgery, @MGHNeuroOnc, @MGHPathology to bring liquid biopsies to the bedside for CNS tumor diagnosis. @MGHNeuroSci @briansilberfund @NINDSfunding @BloodJournal
.@MassGenBrigham's new rapid genotyping test cuts brain tumor diagnosis time from 10 days to 2, avoiding invasive biopsies. It accurately identified tumors in 42% of cases with zero false positives. Learn how this is improving patient care. spklr.io/6019SsaS
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.
Great news re: @ShankarLabMGH and for our @MGHNeurosurg community!
A treat to be back for the @CleSpineReview. A must-do for all spine aficionados! Recognition to Jason Savage for leading our team of 12 to 🥇at The Hike!
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…
Incredible evening recognizing Dr Larry Borges as the Andrónico Luksic Endowed Chair who has trained generations of neurosurgeons. Very fortunate to have a legend as my mentor, partner and friend. @MGHNeurosurg @MGBneurosurgery @MassGeneralNews @MGHNSResidency
A magical evening with Torsten and Mu Wiesel. Inspirations on science, service and the journey of discovery. @MGBneurosurgery @harvardmed @RockefellerInst @NobelPrize @gnfriedman @GraceNg_MD #OpeAlabiMDPhD
It’s a privilege and honor to play on the @MGBneurosurgery team!
Faculty Friday! Meet Ganesh Shankar, MD, PhD, Neurosurgeon at MGH Department of Neurosurgery! #MGH #FacultyFriday 🧠 @ShankarLabMGH @MGBneurosurgery
Excited to have this multiD, multi-year team effort published! Liquid biopsies in neuro-oncology becoming a reality. @MGBneurosurgery @MGHNeuroSci @MGHNeuroOnc @MGHPathology @NINDSfunding @briansilberfund
Integrating this approach in a CLIA environment accelerated times to diagnosis and treatment for patients with newly diagnosed CNS lymphoma. ow.ly/btN450TgAN5 #lymphoidneoplasia #clinicaltrialsandobservations
It is a privilege to watch mentees reach their dreams. Proud of three talented individuals from @ShankarLabMGH starting med school this fall. Ryan Burns - MD @Jacobs_Med_UB, @joskalv, MD/PhD @PennMedicine, @NageebGeorge - MD @StanfordMed. Looking forward to their journeys!
