Dr. Ramakrishna's Biography — As Co-Director of the Rhodes Center for Glioblastoma at New York Presbyterian and Director of the Brain Metastasis Program at Weill Cornell Medicine, my clinical and research goals are to advance the field of brain tumor therapy. At Weill Cornell. we use the most advanced technologies and surgical procedures available to safely remove tumors. For example, we use advanced intraoperative brain mapping techniques to identify essential areas of brain function prior to tumor removal. In addition, we use small endoscopes and microsurgery to remove tumors in otherwise difficult to access locations. In selected cases, we also use small lasers to treat brain tumors that can allow you to go home the day following surgery. Finally, we use stereotactic radiosurgery when applicable. These technologies, and others, ensure that tumors are treated in the safest, least invasive way possible. After surgery, our world class Neuro-Oncology team will assess the type of brain tumor you have and come up with an individualized care plan. In fact, our team hails from some of the most respected cancer centers in the world. I trained at the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Texas prior to joining Cornell and our head Neuro-Oncologist, Dr. Howard Fine, lead the Neuro-Oncology Branch at the National Institutes of Health prior to joining our team. In certain instances, a clinical trial may be appropriate and here at Weill Cornell, we have some of the most exciting new investigational agents available, including tumor vaccines and novel chemotherapies. Please do not hesitate to contact my office for questions or to make an appointment. We will work hard to ensure that the best, most individualized treatment plan is made for you.

Dr. Antal's Biography — Dr. Zoltan Antal is the Chief of Pediatric Endocrinology at Weill Cornell Medicine and directs the Pediatric Diabetes Program in the Division of Pediatric Endocrinology. He is an Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at Weill Cornell Medicine and an Assistant Attending Pediatrician at NewYork-Presbyterian Phyllis and David Komansky Center for Children's Health at Weill Cornell Medical Center. Dr. Antal is board certified in Pediatrics and Pediatric Endocrinology. Dr. Antal received a B.S. in Biology from Stony Brook University in Stony Brook, New York and completed his medical degree (M.D.) from St. George's University School of Medicine in Grenada, West Indies in combination with clinical rotations at Jamaica Hospital in Queens, New York City. He went on to complete his Residency in Pediatrics in Brooklyn, New York at SUNY Downstate Medical Center and Kings County Hospital, where he later served as chief resident. After residency, he remained in New York City and completed a fellowship in Pediatric Endocrinology at the Children's Hospital at Montefiore in the Bronx. During his fellowship, Dr. Antal also conducted research at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the immunology of diabetes. Specifically, he isolated islet cells from pancreata of diabetic mice and studied the targets of the islet infiltrating T cells. In addition, he was also in charge of the translational component of the research, which entailed examining the peripheral blood of children newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, searching for reactivity to the human counterparts of the murine T cell targets. Finally, Dr. Antal and his colleagues analyzed the HLA supertypes of a subset of diabetic children, publishing the findings in the Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences in 2008.
