Murat Günel, MD, FAANS, is the Sterling Professor and Chair of Neurosurgery at Yale School of Medicine, and a Professor of Neuroscience and Genetics. A highly regarded physician-scientist, Dr. Günel uses large-scale genomic and multi-omic strategies to define the causes of neurological diseases and translate those findings into clinical solutions. His research has clarified the molecular basis of structural brain disorders including mTOR activation pathways, cerebrovascular diseases (cavernous malformations, aneurysms) and defined molecular subtypes in brain tumors (meningiomas). More recently, he is leading teams developing computational models and neuromodulatory interventions for autism and related neurodevelopmental disorders to improve communication and function.
