Thank you Anand Veeravagu, MD - it has been a privilege to train under you these past 7 years!

Chief Resident Kevin Kumar, MD, PhD, received the Resident Basic Science Research Award. Kevin's research pioneered a novel method to replace microglia in the brain. He used this technique to treat a mouse model of a lysosomal storage disorder. (1/2)

Some said attending neurosurgeons didn’t exist (ok it was just me, I said that) but I found a lot of them at #AANS2023 . Thank you for welcoming an ophthalmologist and confirming that it’s not the shunt. It never was.

Just arrived in Los Angeles! Looking forward to connecting with friends, colleagues, and mentors over the next few days. #AANS2023 AANS
