Bio
Biography
Dr. Alessandro Olivi focuses on the surgical treatment of primary and metastatic tumors of the brain and spinal cord. He performs microsurgery on skull-based tumors, such as acoustic neuromas, meningiomas and vascular lesions. Additional clinical interests include cerebrovascular conditions and craniofacial reconstructions.
Dr. Alessandro Olivi is actively involved in designing and running clinical experimental protocols to develop and assess new treatments for patients with brain tumors. He is also leading multidisciplinary initiatives to coordinate the most suitable management of patients with newly diagnosed or recurrent brain tumors.
Dr. Olivi is also involved in several research activities in the areas of immunotherapy for brain tumors, cancer stem cells and new drug delivery systems.
