About
Dr. Tiffany Fisher is a pioneering neurosurgeon and researcher whose work centers on the surgical management of medically refractory epilepsy, with a particular focus on neuromodulation and minimally invasive techniques. Her most significant contribution is the development and refinement of robotic-guided depth electrode placement for responsive neurostimulation (RNS) in patients with bitemporal lobe epilepsy—a notoriously challenging condition. Her landmark 2018 paper on bihippocampal and biparahippocampal RNS implantation, which has garnered 14 citations, established a safe and effective surgical protocol for targeting bilateral seizure foci. This work has directly expanded treatment options for patients who were previously considered poor surgical candidates. Dr. Fisher’s research bridges the gap between advanced neuroimaging, stereotactic robotics, and clinical outcomes, demonstrating that precise, bilateral hippocampal stimulation can significantly reduce seizure frequency without compromising cognitive function. Her achievements include pioneering the use of the ROSA robotic platform for this specific indication and contributing to multicenter trials validating RNS therapy. For students and researchers, Dr. Fisher’s work exemplifies how translational innovation can transform the lives of patients with the most complex epilepsies.
