About the speaker:

Jaimie Henderson, MD
John and Jene Blume – Robert and Ruth Halperin Professor
Director, Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery

Dr. Henderson received his MD from Chicago’s Rush Medical College, completed his residency in Neurosurgery at Saint Louis University and fellowship training in Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery. Following his residency and fellowship training, he developed the movement disorders surgery program at St. Louis University, where he remained on staff for 7 years. He then moved to the Cleveland Clinic Foundation, where he developed innovative surgical techniques for DBS placement. He has directed the Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery program at Stanford since 2004.

Dr. Henderson is an expert in the surgical treatment of movement disorders and chronic pain, and is active in research to improve stereotactic navigation and the efficacy of neuromodulatory therapies for movement disorders, pain, and other neurological diseases. Dr. Henderson is one of the world’s foremost experts on the application of image-guided surgical techniques to functional neurosurgical procedures such as the placement of DBS for movement disorders, epilepsy, pain, and psychiatric diseases. This innovative technology has revolutionized the practice of neurosurgery, allowing for safer and more effective operations with reduced operating time. His groundbreaking work on frameless functional neurosurgery has become the standard technique for many neurosurgeons throughout the world.

About the host:

The webinar will be hosted by Steven Russell, whose late father had Parkinson’s Disease. Steven facilitates Stanford’s quarterly DBS support group meeting as well as several PD caregiver-only support group meetings.
