We are working with Dr Bermans Iskandar (http://www.neurosurg.wisc.edu/cv_iskandar.asp) and Dr. David Hsu (http://www.neurology.wisc.edu/hsu.html) to design and optimize a novel shunt valve to drain cerebro-spinal fluid (CSF ) and maintain proper intracranial pressure for patients with hydrocephalus.
