Medical Student
Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine
My name is Sai Chandan Reddy, and I am a second-year medical student at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. I am continuing my academic journey here after completing my undergraduate training at Hopkins, where I earned a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Neuroscience with a second major in Chemistry. My academic path has been guided by a deep fascination with the brain and the central nervous system (CNS), which has shaped my ambition to pursue a career in neurosurgery.
My clinical research spans a wide range of topics within neurosurgery. I have explored the applications of augmented reality (AR) in spinal surgery, focusing on how advanced technologies can be integrated into surgical training and clinical decision-making. I am particularly interested in how emerging technologies can be harnessed to improve patient outcomes and enhance healthcare delivery.
In addition to my work with AR, I have conducted research across several subspecialties within neurosurgery, including vascular, oncological, and hydrocephalus care. I have studied the management of trigeminal neuralgia, examining how current treatment approaches correlate with patient outcomes and whether prognostic factors can guide clinical decisions. In the field of oncology, I have contributed to research on the management of meningiomas and acoustic neuromas, by analyzing trends and outcomes in patients at the insitutional and national levels. Additionally, I have worked on projects focused on hydrocephalus in both pediatric and adult populations, investigating the function of shunts in vitro and developing methods to predict shunt failure and the need for revision.
My diverse clinical research experience reflects my broader goal of understanding the wide array of neurological disorders addressed by neurosurgery. It also underscores my commitment to improving clinical practices through evidence-based approaches. As I continue my medical education at Johns Hopkins, I remain dedicated to a career in neurosurgery, driven by my passion for understanding and treating disorders of the brain and CNS.
