Steven Ham, D.O.
Assistant Professor At the Childrens Hospital of Michigan, ranked by Child magazine as the 6th best children's hospital in the nation, over 1,900 neurosurgical procedures are performed each year, making it one of the busiest hydrocephalus centers in the world. More effective treatments for hydrocephalus rely on major advancements in research. Thus, a critical component of our program is the Michigan Hydrocephalus Research Center, in which a dedicated team of pediatric neurosurgeons neuroscientists, nurses, child psychologists, social workers, and especially patients and their families, focuses on several key areas of investigation. From engineering advancements that will more effectively drain cerebrospinal fluid from the brain, to the development of novel supplements to protect the vulnerable brain or promote the repair of damaged areas, this research effort is aimed at improving the lives of hydrocephalic children within their lifetime.
