Resident Physician
Department of Neurological Surgery, Columbia University Medical Center
My name is Matei Banu, I am chief resident at Columbia University Irving Medical Center/New York Presbyterian Hospital and postdoctoral research scientist at Herbert Irving Cancer Center. In July of this year I will start my surgical neuro-oncology fellowship at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas. I am interested in pursuing a career as a physician scientist focused on neuro-oncology and skull base approaches. My goal as a scientist is to use diverse models in the laboratory to design clinical trials based on molecular, metabolic and imagistic biomarkers.
