My name is Maryam Rahman, MD, and I hold the title of associate professor in the department of neurosurgery at the University of Florida College of Medicine. I received my bachelor's degree in chemistry from Johns Hopkins University before attending medical school and completing a neurosurgical residency at UF. During my training, I completed a two-year, neuro-oncology fellowship under the direction of world-renowned scientist Brent Reynolds, PhD, studying tumor stem cells and their role in developing novel therapies for brain tumors. Following residency, I completed a surgical neuro-oncology fellowship at Johns Hopkins University. As a brain cancer specialist, I am dedicated to finding a cure for brain tumors.
