JOINT FACULTY AND THEIR RESEARCH

Pat McAllister, Professor & Director of Neurosurgical Research; Ph.D., Purdue University. Advancing our understanding of the neuronal damage that occurs in the gray matter of the cerebral cortex, his introduction of shunting experiments in the mid-eighties has contributed greatly to what is known about the potential for recovery after treatment
