Biography

Dr. Stefan Lang completed an undergraduate degree in neuroscience and cognitive neuropsychology at the University of Guelph. He then attended medical school at the University of Ottawa, followed by his neurosurgical residency at the University of Calgary. During his residency, he joined the Clinical Investigator Program and completed a PhD with a specialization in neuroscience and medical imaging.

Dr. Lang has won multiple national and international awards for his research and has published over 30 peer-reviewed papers. On completion of his neurosurgical residency, he obtained specialized training in stereotactic and functional neurosurgery at the University of Toronto under the supervision of Dr. Andres Lozano, Dr. Suneil Kalia and Dr. Mojgan Hodaie. He was then recruited to the University of British Columbia as an academic functional neurosurgeon. He will work closely with the existing functional neurosurgery team and the deep brain stimulation clinic.
