👋 Welcome! I’m Dr. Nandan Lad—neurosurgeon at Duke University, researcher, and serial entrepreneur.
The Surgeon’s Diary is where the operating room meets the research frontier. I translate complex neuroscience—brain and spine health, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) research, neuromodulation, surgical AI, and the policy forces shaping innovation—into insights that actually matter for executives, clinicians, researchers and anyone curious about the future of brain and spine health.
