Description of Itmat Expertise
I am interested in translational research that is able to bridge the gap between basic sciences research and clinical practice. Being a fellowship-trained complex spine surgeon, I hope to collaborate with basic scientists to tackle some of the most difficult problems that we face in the field of spine disease.Selected Publications
