I encourage medical and undergraduate students to contact me if they are interested in being part of my lab. This is an opportunity to participate from the start in some exciting basic and translational research in a field still in its infancy. For undergraduates considering medical school, medical students considering neurosurgery, or lab members simply wishing to understand the clinical motivation of my research, there may also be opportunities for members of my group to shadow me in my clinical work at the Palo Alto VA.
