Biosketch

Dr. De Lotbini�re is an associate professor of neurological surgery at Yale. He graduated from McGill University School of Medicine and completed his training at the Montreal Neurological Institute in 1988. After completing a fellowship in Cambridge, England he joined the faculty at Yale in order to form the section of functional neurosurgery and to initiate a program of radiosurgery.

Dr. De Lotbini�re is curently Director of Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery at Yale, having extensive experience with the surgical treatment of patients with movement disorders, spasticity and intractable pain. He is also Director of the Radiosurgery Program at Yale, which has treated well over 100 patients for a variety of disorders requiring a radiosurgical intervention. Presently this is the only facility of its kind in the state of Connecticut. In addition, Dr. de Lotbini�re has extensive experience in the treatment of pituitary tumors and peripheral nerve disorders.

Dr. De Lotbinière research interests involve the use of radiosurgery as a tool for creating lesions in the primate brain, which has been performed in collaboration with the section of neuro-biology under the direction of Dr. Goldman-Rakic. The results of his research have been presented at several international meetings. The opening of the Gamma Knife Center, a dedicated radiosurgical unit, in July, 1998, has further enhanced the clinical and research programs which have an interdisciplinary collaboration with neuro-oncology, neuro-vascular surgery, radiation oncology and neuro-biology. Dr. de Lotbinière is currently the medical director of this new unit - the Yale Gamma Knife Center.
