Congratulations Dr. Max Krucoff on your R21 NIH grant! This two-year grant focuses on developing a novel, intracranial electrical stimulation technique that can remap brain network relationships to move critical functions away from invasive tumors so that these tumors can be surgically removed safely and more completely. We can't wait to see your results!
