About

Dr. Mojgan Hodaie is a leading neurosurgeon-scientist whose research sits at the intersection of neuromodulation, neuroimaging, and surgical innovation. She is internationally recognized for her pioneering work in trigeminal neuralgia, where she has used advanced MRI techniques to map the microstructural changes in the trigeminal nerve and brainstem, fundamentally improving how this debilitating pain condition is diagnosed and treated. Her contributions extend to the development of novel surgical technologies, including her highly cited work on magnetically guided catheters and micro-robots for spinal cord stimulation—a breakthrough aimed at overcoming the technical challenges of lead implantation in confined epidural spaces. With over 14,000 citations, Dr. Hodaie’s impact is profound. She has authored more than 150 peer-reviewed publications and holds several patents for image-guided interventions. A Professor of Surgery at the University of Toronto and a Senior Scientist at the Krembil Research Institute, she has also been honored with the prestigious Royal College of Surgeons of Canada’s Medal for her contributions to surgical science. Her work continues to shape the future of pain management and precision neurosurgery.
