Huge congratulations to Hani Marcus on his well-deserved promotion to Professor of Neurosurgery! A trustee of The National Brain Appeal, Hani’s pioneering work in robotic brain surgery continues to inspire and we’re proud to have supported it through our Innovation Fund.
It’s a real honour to be promoted to full Professor, and I’m deeply grateful to the many mentors, colleagues, and students who’ve made this possible. I feel especially fortunate, within the @TEQ_Neurosurg group, to work at the interface of surgery, neurology, and engineering –.
