About

Nida Fatima is a rising researcher at the intersection of neurosurgery, biomedical engineering, and rehabilitation technology. Her most impactful work addresses critical challenges in spinal surgery and neuroprosthetics. She led a landmark systematic review and meta-analysis on robot-assisted pedicle screw placement, demonstrating that robotic guidance significantly improves accuracy and safety over conventional free-hand techniques—a study that has garnered over 160 citations and informed surgical best practices. In parallel, Fatima has explored intra-cortical brain-machine interfaces for controlling upper-limb powered prosthetics and robotic systems in individuals with spinal cord injury, contributing to the development of more intuitive, real-time neural control strategies. Her research also extends to stereotactic radiosurgery for large benign intracranial tumors, where she has helped refine treatment protocols to balance efficacy with reduced morbidity. By bridging advanced surgical robotics, neurorehabilitation, and minimally invasive neurosurgery, Fatima’s work directly impacts patient outcomes and the future of precision medicine. Her growing citation record underscores her influence in both clinical and engineering domains, marking her as a promising voice in translational neuroscience.
