Founder

Dr. Basil is currently a senior neurosurgical resident at the University of Miami where he has completed a two-year enfolded fellowship in complex and minimally invasive spine surgery. Before pursuing a career in medicine, Dr. Basil completed an undergraduate degree in Finance and Accounting at the New York University’s Stern School of Business. He subsequently spent several years in the financial industry at BlackRock Financial Management’s New York City office in the Portfolio Analytics and Financial Markets Advisory Groups. In this capacity, he helped to provide portfolio valuations, asset management strategies, and risk advisory services to government institutions as well as troubled financial companies, hedge funds, and private equity firms during the financial crisis. His work at BlackRock centered largely around building financial models for complex asset-classes. His research interests in neurosurgery include socioeconomic issues facing spine surgeons along with endoscopic approaches to the spine.

Dr. Cajigas is currently a chief neurosurgical resident at the University of Miami. Prior to residency, he received the BS and MEng degrees in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), PhD in Medical and Electrical Engineering from the Harvard-MIT Division of Health Science and Technology, and MD from Harvard Medical School. Dr. Cajigas' interests are in the field of statistical signal processing, wearable sensors, and brain machine interfaces as they pertain to the possible restoration of motor function after spinal cord injury and to the treatment of patients with movement disorders (such as Parkinson's Disease) and epilepsy. His research has been funded by the NIH in the form of a F31 award during his MD/PhD and a R25 during residency.

Co-Director of Data Analytics and Visualization

Dr Yang is a senior resident in neurosurgery at the University of Pennsylvania. Prior to residency, he received his A.B. in physics at Princeton, M.S. in biomedical engineering at Duke, and M.D. at New York University. Dr Yang’s research interests are in human electrophysiology, specifically in elucidation of mechanisms underlying perception and goal-directed behavior, and discovery and validation of pathologic biomarkers in functional neurosurgical disorders. His research has been funded by the NIH, under the Medical Research Scholars Program, as well as a T32 training grant, and has been widely published in peer-reviewed scientific journals, including Journal of Neuroscience, NeuroImage, Journal of Neurosurgery, Neurosurgery, and World Neurosurgery.
