Roger Packer

Dr. Packer has been heavily involved in clinical and applied basic science research. His clinical research has touched on various aspects of adult and child neurology and neuro-oncology, including adult and pediatric brain tumors, neurofibromatosis type 1, the neurologic aspects of childhood neurogenetic diseases, and multiple other topics in general child neurology. Much of his research has focused on the development and performance of clinical trials for adults and children with neurologic, neuro-oncologic and neurogenetic disorders, and he has received peer-reviewed grant support for this research. Many of the clinical trials in neurofibromatosis and brain tumors are translational, bringing advances from the bench to the bedside expeditiously.
