Bio
Biography
Dr. Fred Lenz is the A. Earl Walker Professor of Neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins. He maintains a practice which includes a personal experience of more than 25 years and 1,500 functional procedures including implantation of Deep Brain Stimulation electrodes (Parkinson's, tremor, dystonia), and implantation cortical electrodes or resections for treatment of epilepsy.
Additionally, Dr. Fred Lenz has conducted more than 20 years of NIH-funded research into these subjects and extensive experience as a scientific editor and reviewer. He has written over one hundred manucripts on these subjects and trained many fellows from around the world.
