Iahn Cajigas, MD, PhD, has joined the faculty of Penn Neurosurgery.
A MD-PhD graduate of the joint Harvard-MIT program in health sciences and technology, Dr. Cajigas completed a residency in neurological surgery at the University of Miami/Jackson Memorial Hospital followed by a postgraduate fellowship in epilepsy, functional and stereotactic neurosurgery at the University of California, San Francisco.
Dr. Cajigas’ clinical interests include deep brain stimulation, focused ultrasound, and stereotactic radiosurgery for movement and psychiatric disorders, the surgical management of epilepsy, the management of refractory back pain with neuromodulation, and the surgical/radiosurgical treatment of trigeminal neuralgia.
His research at Penn Medicine will focus on understanding the real-time cortical and spinal control of movement using state-of-the-art intraoperative techniques to empower the next generation of functional neuro-restorative therapies and devices including brain computer interfaces for patients with spinal cord injury.
He looks forward to joining the multidisciplinary clinical and research community at Penn to help treat patients with a range of neurologic conditions and develop the next generation of therapies.
Dr. Cajigas sees patients at Penn Neurosurgery Pennsylvania Hospital.
