About
Nisha Gadgil is a pediatric neurosurgeon and researcher whose work focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of childhood brain tumors, particularly diffuse midline gliomas (DMGs) of the pons. Her most-cited study, "Clinical outcomes of stereotactic biopsy on children with pontine diffuse midline glioma" (2023), addresses a critical challenge in pediatric neuro-oncology: safely obtaining tissue from these inoperable brainstem tumors. By demonstrating the feasibility and diagnostic yield of stereotactic biopsy, Gadgil’s work has helped refine surgical approaches for DMGs, enabling more precise molecular characterization and targeted therapy planning. Though early in her career, her contributions are already shaping clinical protocols for one of the most devastating pediatric cancers. Her research bridges the gap between neurosurgical technique and precision oncology, offering new hope for children with historically poor-prognosis tumors. As the field moves toward biopsy-driven treatment paradigms, Gadgil’s findings provide a foundation for safer, more informative procedures. Her dedication to improving outcomes for young patients with brainstem gliomas marks her as a rising leader in pediatric neurosurgery.
