Dr. Tim Vogel is a pediatric neurosurgeon at North Jersey Brain and Spine Center. He is the Director of Pediatric Neurosurgery at the Joseph M. Sanzari Children's Hospital at Hackensack University Medical Center. He joined Cincinnati Children's Hospital as an assistant professor before his current role at North Jersey Brain and Spine Center. Dr. Vogel specializes in craniofacial surgery and the use of endoscopy in the minimally invasive treatment of hydrocephalus and tumors of the brain. His research focus centers on understanding the neural stem cell differentiation and ciliary signaling mechanisms that lead to hydrocephalus, a common neural developmental condition seen in humans that leads to expansion of the cerebral ventricles and is associated with a high rate of morbidity and mortality.
After finishing his undergraduate studies at Princeton University, he received his M.D. from Columbia University. Dr. Vogel completed his residency at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, and went on to complete a minimally invasive fellowship at Boston Children's Hospital at Harvard University, followed by a pediatric neurosurgery fellowship at St. Louis Children's Hospital at Washington University in St. Louis.
