Biography

 Thomas C. Chen, M.D., Ph.D., Neurosurgeon, specializes in neuro-oncology, treating a wide range of brain and spinal cord tumors. His clinical and research interests are three pronged: 1) using neuronavigational instrumentation and frameless strategic devices to localize brain tumors prior to open surgery; 2) performing clinical trials for the treatment brain tumors; 3) conducting translational lab research focusing on gliomas. Dr. Chen received his medical degree from the University of California, San Francisco, and completed his surgical internship and neurosurgical residency at USC, where he also earned his doctorate in experimental pathology. He then completed a one-year spine fellowship at the Medical College of Wisconsin before joining the USC faculty in 1997. He is currently a tenured associate professor of neurosurgery and pathology.
