Newton Cho

We celebrated the graduation of our 4 amazing clinical spine fellows: Drs. Newton Cho @newton_cho, Chien Yew Kow, Drew Mulhall, and Ru Raj. It’s been an honour and privilege to see you all grow into the surgeon you are today!

Congratulations to @newton_cho our superstar spine fellow on winning the “Best Poster Presentation Award” at the @AOSpineNA Fellows Forum this past weekend in Banff, Alberta!

Does conventional spinal cord stimulation improve Parkinson's in the human? Insert nail in coffin. Dis aliter visum – the gods thought otherwise. A randomized crossover double-blind study says NO. It's long overdue that we pivot to other approaches and methods as Carra, Cury and…

We launched our Calgary Endoscopic Spine Surgery Program this week! 🙌 We are now able to offer ultra-minimally invasive spine surgery to Albertans. We hope to create a center of excellence for research and to help train future 🇨🇦 spine endoscopists. @yyc_health @UCalgaryMed

What if you could target brain regions important for recovery after spinal cord injury with DBS? Can you say hypothamamus? Guess what Cho and colleagues from Switzerland did just that in a brilliant new paper @NatureMedicine. Key Points: - People don't think about it, but guess…

Excited to share work from my graduate thesis @EPFL published in @NatureMedicine ! A novel brain target to improve walking after spinal cord injury. Special thanks to @gcourtine and @Jocelyne_Bloch as well as my amazing co-authors! nature.com/articles/s4159… #spinalcordinjury…

Excited to share our new review in @TrendsNeuro on re-examining pathobiology of gait dysfunction in #Parkinsonsdisease and implications for future therapeutic strategies Thanks a lot to @kalialabs for their supervision and support and to @TrendsNeuro! cell.com/trends/neurosc…

Thanks and honoured @EPFL to be in your top 10!

Did you know the Leksell Frame can be mounted upside down for easy access to the posterior fossa for DBS and brain biopsy? We show how: doi.org/10.1159/000543… #stereotacticsurgery #deepbrainstimulation #cerebellum @kalialabs @CA1CA2CA3CA4 @newton_cho @BenDavidson__

A huge congratulations to our incredible graduating class! We look forward to watching your bright futures in #neurosurgery! ⭐️ Saira Alli ⭐️ Newton Cho ⭐️ Ben Davidson ⭐️ Spyridon Karadimas ⭐️ Ying Meng ⭐️ Zamir Merali ⭐️ Farshad Nassiri ⭐️ Chris Pasarikovski

Today ONWARD's ARC-IM IPG, the first neurostimulator designed for SCI, was implanted in a human for the first time by Dr. @Jocelyne_Bloch. This first-in-human implant was also the first enrollment in our HemON study to assess blood pressure and trunk control in people with #SCI.

Dr. Chris Lozano, PGY1 neurosurgery resident at @uoftmedicine spoke at @KBI_UHN Neurosciences Rounds on Mar 31st about, "A Middle-aged Man with Progressive Paraplegia & Urinary Incontinence" and shared some important neurobytes:

Our preclinical platform for new advanced therapies is now out in @SciRobotics. A great journey with my co-PI @gcourtine and also with @splacour40 and several @EPFL_en @CNP_EPFL and @SantAnnaPisa scientists science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
