Meet the MHFP Clinical Research Consortium
The MHFP Consortium consists of five pediatric neurosurgeons from various institutions around the country that focus research on Central Nervous System Anomalies such as achondroplasia, tethered cord, congenital brain tumors, skeletal dysplasias and more! Our current collaborating sites are Texas Children’s Hospital (Baylor College of Medicine), Boston Children’s Hospital (Harvard University), Cedars Sinai Medical Center, OHSU Doernbecher Children’s Hospital (OHSU), St. Louis Children’s Hospital (Washington University) and UChicago Medicine (University of Chicago). Each consortium site focuses on research in addition to contributing data to the MHFP Database to build a CNS Anomaly Database that contains nationwide data that is accessible for research!

MEET JESSE HUANG
Clinical Research Analyst, MHFP (Clinical Research)
Jesse recently graduated from the Johns Hopkins University, where he earned dual degrees in Biophysics and Applied Math & Statistics. During his studies, Jesse also worked as a research assistant focusing on neurodegenerative diseases at the Johns Hopkins Medical Institute, where he developed an interest in medicine involving the brain. Currently, he hopes to be able to explore the field of neurosurgery through clinical research at the Margaret Hackett Family Program and plans on applying to medical school in the near future.
