About

Dr. Rrita Daci is a pioneering pediatric neurosurgeon whose work centers on the development of minimally invasive, robot-assisted techniques for gene therapy delivery in young children. Her major contribution, detailed in her landmark 2025 paper, addresses the formidable challenge of stereotactic infusions in infants with fragile skulls, demonstrating that the thalamus can serve as an integrative hub for widespread gene and protein delivery via axonal transport. This innovative approach not only enhances the safety and precision of intrathalamic infusions but also opens new avenues for treating devastating neurological disorders at their source. With her work already garnering early citations, Daci is establishing a critical foundation for translating advanced gene therapies from the lab to the bedside. Her research represents a vital step forward in pediatric neurosurgery, offering hope for conditions previously considered untreatable and positioning her as a rising leader in the field of surgical gene therapy.
