Current Research Interests

Dr. Dodd is involved in clinical trials using endovascular coils that have a fiber coating that help heal aneurysms of the neck and can prevent an aneurysm from reforming. He uses minimally invasive endoscopic techniques to treat brain tumors.

Dodd's research interests are in cerebral blood vessel reactivity and stroke.
