Background

About Marc Zanello

Dr. Marc Zanello, MD, PhD, is a neurosurgeon and pain specialist (algologist) based in Paris, France, specializing in functional neurosurgery, including epilepsy, pain, and pharmacoresistant neurological and psychiatric disorders. He practices at the GHU PARIS, Psychiatrie et Neurosciences, Pole Neuro Sainte-Anne. In addition to his clinical practice, Dr. Zanello is deeply involved in academic research. He serves as a Maître de Conférences des Universités-Praticien Hospitalier (MCU-PH) at the Université de Paris, contributing significantly to the field of neurosurgery through both teaching and research. His scholarly work includes over 140 publications. Dr. Zanello is at the forefront of functional neurosurgery, which is evolving along three major axes: 1/Functional neurosurgery and pharmacoresistant pathologies He plays a major role in the surgical management of neurological conditions refractory to medical treatments, particularly epilepsy, chronic pain, and certain psychiatric disorders. His work focuses on the development of new pre-surgical exploration methods and the implementation of innovative surgical approaches to optimize outcomes and ensure the safety of procedures. 2/Planning of intracerebral trajectories A key aspect of his research involves the creation and utilization of large-scale clinical, radiological, and histological databases (Big Data) to enhance surgical planning. He is also exploring the use of Artificial Intelligence to guide and refine intracerebral trajectories, thereby increasing the precision of interventions. 3/Surgical innovation Dr. Zanello actively participates in the development of robotic surgery, reducing invasiveness and improving the accuracy of neurosurgical procedures. He works on integrating new intraoperative imaging techniques, allowing for more precise real-time navigation. He is involved in groundbreaking projects, including the development of intracerebral implants for therapeutic applications. Dr. Zanello's clinical expertise encompasses a wide range of neurosurgical procedures, addressing conditions such as brain tumors, spinal disorders, and functional neurosurgery. His commitment to patient care is complemented by his active participation in advancing neurosurgical techniques and outcomes through ongoing research and collaboration.
