Robert Gamburd

Robert Gamburd is a Professor in the Department of Neurological Surgery at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) School of Medicine. His academic career integrates neurosurgery, orthopedics, and radiology, with a focus on spinal pathology and peripheral nerve compression syndromes.

Education and Training:

• MD from University of Michigan Inteflex Program (1980)
• Internship in Medicine at UCSF (1981)
• Residency at Stanford University (1983)
• Fellowship in Sports Medicine at PM&R SOAR (1984)

Research Interests: Gamburd's work emphasizes spinal diseases, nerve compression syndromes, and diagnostic imaging techniques like MRI. His conceptual networks include topics such as synovial cysts, spinal nerve roots, laminectomy, and neural conduction studies.

Publication Trends: His research output (1988–1994) centers on spinal imaging, differential diagnosis between radiculopathy and peripheral nerve entrapment, and surgical interventions for spinal stenosis. All three publications are classified under Orthopedics or General Medicine by NLM.

Professional Networks: He collaborates with UCSF's Neurological Surgery department colleagues and peers like Christopher Ames (UCSF) and Praveen Mummaneni (UCSF), focusing on shared spinal and nerve compression research themes.
