About

Dr. Simon J. Schreiner is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of neurosurgery, microsurgery, and biomedical engineering. His work centers on the emerging field of neurolymphatics, exploring how the recently discovered glymphatic system and meningeal lymphatics can be harnessed for therapeutic benefit. Dr. Schreiner’s most notable contribution is the conceptualization of “brain drain for brain gain”—a groundbreaking framework proposing that robotic-assisted lymphatic microsurgery could drain pathological proteins and waste from the brain to treat neurological disorders such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. His 2025 paper on this subject, already garnering 2 citations, has sparked significant interest for its bold, translational vision. By merging advanced microsurgical techniques with neuroimmunology, Dr. Schreiner is opening a new frontier in the management of neurodegenerative conditions. His work not only challenges long-held dogma about CNS lymphatic drainage but also offers a tangible, surgical pathway to intervene in diseases previously considered untreatable. For students and researchers, Dr. Schreiner exemplifies how cross-disciplinary thinking can transform fundamental biological discoveries into clinical innovations.
