Chiocca to Chair New Neurological Surgery Department

COLUMBUS, Ohio – The Ohio State University Medical Center will complement its strengths in neuroscience, neurology and cancer research by establishing a neurological surgery department and appointing a nationally recognized brain tumor specialist from Harvard University to chair the new department. Both actions were approved today (12/5) by the university’s Board of Trustees.
