Doris Wang, MD, PhD

Principal Investigator

I am a neurosurgeon-scientist in the Department of Neurological Surgery at UCSF with a clinical and research focus in stereotactic and functional neurosurgery. I completed my undergraduate studies at Yale University, and obtained my PhD in Neuroscience and MD degree at UCSF. I stayed at UCSF for my neurosurgery residency training and a fellowship in stereotactic and functional neurosurgery. I was fortunate enough to join the UCSF Neurosurgery faculty in 2018 where my clinical expertise includes treating movement disorders using neuromodulation and ablative procedures. I am also the principal investigator of a human neurophysiology laboratory.

Outside of the lab and work, I enjoy spending time with human and dog babies, finding good waves with my husband, and attempting to catch up on sleep.
