Jorge Álvaro Gonzalez-Martinez
Jorge Álvaro González Martínez, MD, PhD, FAANS, is a board-certified neurosurgeon specialized in epilepsy and functional neurosurgery and Tenure Professor in Neurological Surgery and Neurobiology at University of Pittsburgh. He serves as the Director of Epilepsy and Movement Disorders Surgery and is the co-director of the Epilepsy Center at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. He is the current Vice-Chair of the department of Neurological Surgery and the Stuart Niles Rowe Endowed Chair in Epilepsy Surgery. Dr. González Martínez is a world-renowned surgeon/scientist with an extensive publication record, having authored over 300 peer-reviewed articles book chapters and patents focused on epilepsy surgery and advanced brain mapping techniques for patients with medically intractable epilepsy and movement disorders.
Dr. González Martínez's legacy is etched in his pioneering contributions to surgical innovation. He spearheaded the introduction of modern conceptual and surgical facets of the Stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) methodology to the United States, heralding a paradigm shift in epilepsy surgery. By replacing antiquated techniques with state-of-the-art stereotaxic approaches, he has revolutionized surgical strategies, thereby elevating the standard of care and transforming the landscape of epilepsy surgery both domestically and abroad. His expertise spans a gamut of surgical modalities, encompassing stereotaxic anatomy applied to SEEG, SEEG-guided laser ablations, neuromodulatory interventions, and robotic-assisted surgeries, all of which underscore his commitment to excellence in patient care.
Beyond the operating theater, Dr. González Martínez's scholarly pursuits traverse the realms of neuro-electrophysiology, intracranial signal processing, and behavioral neuroscience. Through synergistic amalgamation of clinical and basic science endeavors, he endeavors to forge safer and more effective treatment modalities, aimed at enhancing patient outcomes and ameliorating the burdens imposed by debilitating seizures. His research activities, rooted in the University of Pittsburgh Cortical System Lab, have received generous support from prestigious funding bodies such as the NIH and NSF, underscoring the translational impact of his endeavors on the broader scientific community.
