Bio:

Thomas L. Ellis Jr., M.D. joined Wake Forest Baptist in 2000 as an assistant professor in the Division of Surgical Sciences’ Department of Neurosurgery. He was named an associate professor in 2009 and was the medical director of Deep Brain Stimulation Surgery and the director of the Neurosurgery Residency Program.

During his tenure at Wake Forest Baptist, he was active in research to cure malignant brain tumors, to treat disorders of the brain with the use of neurostimulation, and, in collaboration with scientists at Virginia Tech, to explore the use of high frequency irreversible electroporation to ablate specific targets in the brain. He worked with Robert Hampson, Ph.D. and Sam Deadwyler, Ph.D., to develop and implant a hippocampal neural prostheses to facilitate learning. He pioneered sub-second catecholamine measurement in the human brain.
