MSK/MSO
Research Group

The MSK MSO Research Group focuses on clinical research in various medical specialties of neurosurgical care, primary care, and pain management.

Led by principal investigators Dr. Kevin Yoo and Dr. Brar, our team includes students, physicians, and researchers who utilize a multidisciplinary approach in clinical and translational research to work towards optimizing patient outcomes and improving treatment efficacy.

Specialties in Research with us!

Across these projects, our goal is consistent!
to generate evidence that meaningfully improves clinical care and the overall experience of patients and their families.

Our work spans several complementary study designs, including :

Case reports and case series

In-depth examinations of instructive clinical cases that highlight complex presentations, diagnostic challenges, and innovative management strategies.

Systematic reviews and meta-analyses

Structured evaluations of the scientific literature to synthesize data on treatment options, prognostic factors, and patient outcomes in neurosurgery.

Retrospective clinical studies

Analyses of patient data to identify trends, risk factors, and outcomes, often conducted in partnership with hospitals, academic groups, and other research entities.
