Bio
Dr. Mojgan Hodaie is staff neurosurgeon at the Toronto Western Hospital, University Health Network and the surgical co-Director of the Joey and Toby Tanenbaum Family Gamma Knife Centre at the Toronto Western Hospital. Dr. Hodaie holds the rank of Professor in the Department of Surgery at the University of Toronto and is a member of the largest functional neurosurgery team in Canada, with expertise in all forms of neuromodulation including deep brain stimulation, spinal cord stimulation and baclofen pumps for the management of spasticity. Dr. Hodaie has a special clinical and research interest in the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia and facial pain.
Dr. Hodaie's is a scientist at the Toronto Western Research Institute. Her advanced surgical imaging laboratory focuses on the use of brain imaging to understand changes in brain structure and microstructure in functional neurosurgical conditions. She has a special research interest in the investigation of brain “signatures” of pain and how this can help define better care and personalize treatment for patients. She has published key papers in the area on methodology of small fiber tractography, machine learning models applied to the study of pain, and structural neuroanatomical changes in the gray and white matter in trigeminal neuralgia.
Dr. Hodaie is the Education lead at the Krembil Brain Institute and neurosurgery residency and fellowship site director for the Toronto Western Hospital.
