Alexander Evins

I am a Research Fellow in The Surgical Innovations Laboratory for Skull Base Microneurosurgery at the Weill Cornell Brain and Spine Center. Our state-of-the-art research facility integrates exquisite cadaveric dissections, 3D visualization, virtual reality, and computerized simulation for the advancement of neurosurgical procedures and minimally invasive techniques for treating complex lesions of the skull base. Lesions of the skull base present unique challenges to neurosurgeons, who must perform intricate procedures within the smallest recesses of the brain. These procedures require a high degree of dexterity as well as a thorough understanding and visual grasp of the complex anatomy of the anterior skull base and complex middle and posterior fossa surgical approaches.
