About

Marwan Hariz is a pioneering figure in functional neurosurgery, best known for his transformative contributions to deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery. His research focuses on refining the technical aspects of DBS, particularly for movement disorders, psychiatric conditions, epilepsy, and pain. Hariz’s work has advanced the precision and safety of DBS implantation, directly improving patient outcomes and deepening our understanding of human brain physiology. His 2023 paper, "Advances in Technical Aspects of Deep Brain Stimulation Surgery," which has garnered 54 citations, exemplifies his role in shaping modern neurosurgical practice. Beyond technical innovations, Hariz has been instrumental in establishing DBS as a standard therapy for conditions like Parkinson’s disease, with his research cited over 10,000 times globally. His achievements include pioneering stereotactic techniques and mentoring a generation of neurosurgeons. Hariz’s impact is evident in the widespread adoption of his methods, making him a key architect of contemporary functional neurosurgery.
