Griff Harsh - Multiply

As Vice Chair of the Department of Neurosurgery at Stanford University School of Medicine, Dr. Griff Harsh trains residents in neurosurgery and treats patients who have brain and spinal cord tumors. Through the use of microsurgery and radiosurgery, as well as endoscopic procedures, he treats patients suffering from meningiomas, acoustic neuromas, gliomas, pituitary adenomas, craniopharyngiomas, and chordomas. As a researcher, he has investigated tumorigenesis, stem cell biology, gene therapy, and nanoparticles with federal and private grants. Recently, Dr. Harsh and colleagues have published studies regarding resistance mechanisms in glioblastomas in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) and the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA). An academic physician, Dr. Griff Harsh regularly contributes to national scientific meetings and scientific and clinical journals.

Since his third year as a resident in neurological surgery at the University of California, San Francisco, Dr. Griff Harsh has published his research findings in peer-reviewed journals. That year, the Journal of Neurosurgery included his piece “Central nervous system mesenchymal chondrosarcoma,” and Surgical Forum published his article “Neurogenic hypertension and microvascular cross-compression: a review of 50 cases of hemifacial spasm.” In addition, he presented his abstract on intracranial arachnoid cysts in children to the Pediatric Section of the American Association of Neurological Surgeons at its annual meeting. Over the next 25 years, Dr. Harsh has contributed to publications in the American Journal of Neuroradiology (AJNR), the Journal of Biological Chemistry (JBC), Science, Nature Medicine, Cell Cancer, and the International Journal of Radiation Oncology/Biology/Physics (IJROBP). Additionally, he provided chapters to the Atlas of Neurological Surgery and several editions of Neurological Surgery, among other texts. He also compiled and edited the texts, Management of Cerebral Metastasis, Chordomas and Chondrosarcomas of the Skull Base and Spine, and The Molecular Basis of Neurosurgical Disease. Dr. Griff Harsh has also served as an ad hoc reviewer for the Journal of Neuro-Oncology (JNO), The Journal of Clinical Investigation (JCI), Neurosurgery, and Cancer Gene Therapy.
