Dr. Gary Gallia's specialty is endoscopic endonasal surgical approaches to skull base pathologies with a focus on neurosurgical oncology. He utilizes the latest techniques in preoperative imaging, computer-guided surgical navigation, intraoperative monitoring, and minimally invasive and Neuroendoscopy approaches in the management of patients with benign and malignant brain tumors, metastatic tumors to the brain, skull base neoplasms, and pituitary tumors. He is the director of the Neurosurgery Skull Base Center and surgical director of the Johns Hopkins Pituitary Center. Dr. Gary Gallia graduated summa cum laude from the Gibbons Scholar MD/PhD program at Jefferson Medical College and Thomas Jefferson University. He completed his general surgery internship at The Johns Hopkins Hospital where he was awarded surgical intern of the year. He then completed his neurological surgery residency and a postdoctoral fellowship in neuro-oncology at The Johns Hopkins Hospital. Following residency, he completed a minimally invasive and endoscopic neurosurgery fellowship with Dr. Charles Teo at the Prince of Wales Private Hospital and Sydney Children's Hospital in Sydney, Australia. Dr. Gallia is rated as an Elite provider by MediFind in the treatment of Cerebrospinal Fluid Leak. His top areas of expertise are Olfactory Neuroblastoma, Chordoma, Pituitary Tumor, Endoscopic Transnasal Transsphenoidal Surgery, and Awake Craniotomy.

Dr. Mark Luciano is the director of the Johns Hopkins Hydrocephalus and Cerebral Fluid Center. A renowned leader in treating hydrocephalus, Dr. Luciano is distinguished both nationally and internationally for his research and educational and clinical work in neuroendoscopy. Dr. Luciano treats adults with hydrocephalus, pseudotumor cerebri, intracranial hypotension, Chiari malformations, and cerebral and spinal cysts. He has significant expertise treating children and adults with cerebrospinal fluid leaks and congenital disorders. Among his accomplishments in neuroscience research and biomedical engineering are his investigation of the cerebrovascular response to hydrocephalus and the invention of a unique device for control of intracranial pressure (ICP) pulsatility to increase blood flow. His National Institutes of Health-funded studies have explored prolonged compression and hypoxia in the brain as a result of hydrocephalus, as well as the interaction between cerebrospinal fluid and vascular systems. Dr. Luciano is rated as an Elite provider by MediFind in the treatment of Cerebrospinal Fluid Leak. His top areas of expertise are Hydrocephalus, Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus, Increased Intracranial Pressure, Posterior Fossa Decompression, and Gastrostomy.

Dr. Debraj “Raj” Mukherjee’s clinical focus is the treatment of patients with primary and metastatic brain lesions. His clinical work and research emphasize the development of individual treatment plans that optimize survival and quality of life in all patients. After receiving his medical degree from Dartmouth Medical School, Dr. Mukherjee was recruited to Johns Hopkins, where he studied epidemiology, biostatistics and clinical design at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and served as Director of the Neuro-Oncology Surgical Outcomes Laboratory in the Department of Neurosurgery. Dr. Mukherjee completed neurosurgery residency at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where he was named a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Health & Society Scholar. He completed an open and endoscopic skull base fellowship with the Center for Skull Base Surgery at University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, where he was a Copeland Scholar. Throughout his career, Dr. Mukherjee has led patient-centered research pursuits in neuro-oncology including development of a national registry for patients with brain tumors, creation of disease-specific quality of life instruments for patients with skull base tumors, and development of innovative clinical trials in neuro-oncology. He leads the Meningioma, Brain Metastasis, and Neurosurgical Oncology centers at Johns Hopkins Medicine, and he serves as Assistant Residency Program Director for one of the largest neurosurgical training programs in the country. His work has been supported by the American Medical Association, Glioblastoma Foundation, National Institute on Aging, and National Cancer Institute. Dr. Mukherjee can be contacted at drraj@jhmi.edu.
