Michael Huang, MD
Professor
Neurological Surgery
School of Medicine

In his research, Huang studies traumatic injuries to the neurological system. He looks at neurointensive care and is particularly interested in advanced neurological monitoring for traumatic brain injury and spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage, skull base fractures and endocrinological disturbances following trauma. He also is interested in surgical approaches to treating skull base diseases, including the use of endoscopic and other minimally invasive techniques.

Huang earned his medical degree at Weill Cornell Medicine and completed a residency in neurosurgery at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital. He completed a skull base and cerebrovascular fellowship at the University of South Florida.
