Dr. Guillaume is the quality and safety lead for the Department of Neurosurgery at the University of Minnesota. He is also Chief of Pediatric Neurosurgery at the University of Minnesota Masonic Children's Hospital and Director of the Division of Pediatric Neurosurgery for the Department of Neurosurgery. His clinical and research interests include treatments of pediatric brain and spinal tumors, minimally invasive surgical approaches, management of complex hydrocephalus, and surgery of the anterior and posterior cranial base. Dr. Guillaume is also co-director for the NeuroSafe symposium series focused on quality and safety in neurosurgery with Dr. Hunt. Dr. Hunt is an Associate Professor in the Department of Neurosurgery at the University of Minnesota. He is a Neurosurgeon, at the University of Minnesota Medical Center, Fairview. He is also the residency program director, helping to train the next generation of neurosurgical leaders. Dr. Hunt is the course director for the NeuroSafe symposium series focused on quality and safety in neurosurgery. His research interests involve novel treatments including immunotherapy for brain tumors and treating pet dogs with brain tumors as a model for treatment of human brain tumors. He collaborates with other researchers at the U of M to develop innovative treatments for patients with gliomas and meningiomas. His clinical interests include brain tumors and complex spinal surgery. He trained at Oregon Health & Science University and did fellowships there and at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery in London, UK.
