More recently, he has been involved in several clinical research projects

relating to improving the management of brain tumours.
This work has arisen through collaboration with researchers from Macquarie
Universitys clinical psychology department, and the physics department.
Future projects will involve researchers from the neuropsychology, radiology,
neuro-ophthalmology, and physiotherapy departments.
Best Neurosurgery Hospitals

We are conveniently located at the heart of a large and integrated medical

precinct.
Collocated next to the Macquarie University Clinic, and the
Universitys Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, this integrated network
means that patients benefit from the collaboration of specialists and
