Paulo Abdo do Seixo Kadri, MD, PhD

Dr. Kadri received his medical school degree from the Federal University of Sao Paulo (1992-1997) and completed his neurosurgical residence training at the same institution (1998-2001). He performed a fellowship in Skull Base Surgery at the University of Arkansas for Neurological Science, under the guidance of Prof. Ossama Al-Mefty, between 2002-2004. Working in the Microneurosurgical and Skull Base laboratory, he learned under the guidance of Prof. M Gazi Yasargil and Dr. Ugur Ture the techniques of dissections of the brain and developed a special interest in the intrinsic anatomy of the brain and its application in the treatment of primary tumors of the brain.

Since then, his academic career has involved teaching courses around the world and serving as visiting professor at several world-renowned academic institutions including the University of Saint Louis, University of Sao Paulo, University of Zurich, University of Arkansasfor Medical Sciences, University of Strasbourg, University of Wien, University of Shanghai Fuan, University of Taipei, Beijing International Neurosciences Institute, Central Hospital of Dahkha-Banglades, Federal Center of Neurosurgery-Tyumen, Siberia, Russia, Federal Center of Neurosurgery - NovoSiberski, Siberia, Russia, Yedetepe University-Istanbul, Turkey, and Harvard Medical School. Dr. Kadri's PhD thesis focused on surgical approaches to the temporal lobe, exploring the anatomical aspects of the white matter fibers involved in the surgical procedure. He has published several scientific articles on the field of skull base surgery, neuro-oncology, brain anatomy, white matter anatomy, epilepsy surgery, and neurovascular surgery. Dr. Kadri is currently transitioning positions from research fellow of Skull Base Surgery at the Brigham and Women's Hospital of the Harvard School of Medicine, in Boston - USA, to associate neurosurgeon of the Hospital dos Trabalhadores,in Curitiba, Brasil.
