Brinda Shivalingam

Fellow in Minimally Invasive Neurosurgery - 2003

Brinda is one of those exceptional individuals who manages to be a talented and dedicated neurosurgeon as well as a doting mother to two beautiful children and a loving wife. Although, Brinda came to us relatively early in her training, she behaved like a veteran when it came to surgical and operative decision making and overall professionalism. Her tolerance of our sometimes chauvinistic conversation in the operating room made her inclusion in the "team" an easy transition.

Brinda has chosen to specialise in neuro-oncology by taking a year to study the basic molecular structure of brain tumours in the hope that this may eventually guide us to finding a cure for the malignant varieties. Our hope is that one day we may coerce her to join us at the Centre.
