Summary
- Dr. Christina Jackson is an Assistant Professor of Neurosurgery at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. She specializes in open skull base surgery, minimally invasive surgery, endoscopic skull base and pituitary surgery, and complex brain tumor surgery. Her clinical expertise is in the treatment of benign and malignant brain tumors with special interest in skull base tumors include pituitary adenomas, meningiomas, craniopharyngiomas, chordomas, chondrosarcomas, schwannomas, and esthesioneuroblastomas.
Dr. Jackson received her medical degree from Harvard Medical School prior to completing her neurosurgery residency at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. She then completed a dedicated fellowship at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center focusing on endoscopic endonasal and open skull base surgical techniques. Dr. Jackson is uniquely trained in both open and endoscopic endonasal skull base approaches and aims to select the most effective and less
invasive approach to each individual patient.
Dr. Jackson’s research interests focus on understanding the immunobiology of brain tumors and skull base tumors and uncovering mechanisms of immune evasion by cancer cells. She completed a post-doctoral research fellowship during residency and has been awarded numerous grants to fund her research. She has published extensively on immunotherapy for brain tumors and patient outcomes after skull base surgery. Dr. Jackson strives to incorporate the latest research, technology, and minimally invasive approach to provide a
multi-disciplinary care experience for her patients.
