Russell R. Lonser's research focuses on neurosurgical techniques for delivering gene and cell therapies directly into the brain and spinal cord to treat conditions such as Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, brain tumors (gliomas, hemangioblastomas, meningiomas), and hydrocephalus. A major focus is convection-enhanced delivery (a method of infusing therapeutic agents directly into brain tissue under controlled pressure) and improving the precision of these procedures using robotic and imaging guidance. This work spans clinical trials, surgical technique development, and studies of inherited tumor syndromes like von Hippel-Lindau disease.
