Theodore H. Schwartz
EducationHarvard University; Harvard University Medical School
Known forEndoscopic skull base and pituitary surgery, epilepsy research

Theodore H. Schwartz (born May 13, 1965) is an American medical scientist, academic physician and neurosurgeon.

Theodore Schwartz specializes in surgery for brain tumors, pituitary tumors and epilepsy. He is particularly known for developing and expanding the field of minimally-invasive endonasal endoscopic skull base and pituitary surgery and for his research on neurovascular coupling and propagation of epilepsy.

Dr. Schwartz is a Professor of Neurosurgery, Otolaryngology, Neurology and Neuroscience[1] at Weill Cornell Medical College, New York Presbyterian Hospital, and the Director of Epilepsy and Pituitary Surgery, [2] Director of the Institute for Minimally Invasive Skull Base and Pituitary Surgery Program [3] and the Co-Director of Surgical Neuro-Oncology Program [4]. He is also the Director of the Epilepsy Research Laboratory [5] in The Department of Neurosurgery [6] investigating brain mapping, neurovascular coupling [7] and other novel techniques [8] for imaging and treating epilepsy. This epilepsy research laboratory, which is now part of the newly developed Brain and Mind Research Institute [9] at Weill Cornell Medical College, has been funded with K08, R21 and R01 grants [10] by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke - a research institute of the National Institutes of Health - and several private organizations. Dr. Schwartz has served as a standing member of the NINDS NSD-C Grant Review Committee [11] and also serves on the editorial boards of the Journal of Neurosurgery and World Neurosurgery [12]

Biography

Theodore Schwartz graduated magna cum laude with dual undergraduate Bachelor of Arts degrees in Philosophy and English from Harvard University in 1987. While in attendance at Harvard, he received the John Harvard Scholarship for Academic Achievement from 1985-1987 and was awarded the prestigious Hoopes Prize for his senior thesis. Schwartz then went on to graduate magna cum laude from Harvard University Medical School in 1990. After completing his residency and chief residency in neurosurgery at the Neurological Institute of New York at Columbia University Medical Center, Dr. Schwartz completed advanced fellowship training at Yale-New Haven Hospital in the surgical treatment of brain tumors and epilepsy. He was awarded the American Association of Neurological Surgeons Van Wagenen Fellowship named after William P. Van Wagenen, a charter member of the Harvey Cushing Society. He was further recognized by the German government when he was awarded the Von Humboldt Fellowship from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation. Awards from the Humboldt Foundation are considered to be among the most prestigious and generous awards in Germany.
