Background
Dr. Quattrocchi completed his neurosurgical training in 1992 and has been in both academic and private practice for more than 30 years. His areas of expertise includes complex spine surgery, neurotrauma and adult brain tumors. He has extensive experience with neuro-navigational (computer assisted) spine surgery and immunotherapy of malignant gliomas.
Quattrocchi earned his medical degree at the George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences. He completed a residency in Neurosurgery and a doctorate in Immunology at the University of California, Davis School of Medicine.
While serving as the Van L. Weatherspoon Jr. Distinguished Professor and Director of Neuro-Oncology at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, Dr. Quattrocchi was the primary investigator for the first human study using tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes to treat malignant brain tumors. These and other findings were published in nationally recognized journals, including Neurosurgery and the Journal of Neuro-Oncology and have been cited in dozens of subsequent articles on immunotherapy.
He later entered private practice and served as director of the Neuroscience and Spine Center at Saint Mary's Regional Medical Center, where he was responsible for the integration of brain tumor oncology protocols, treatment of acute stroke, and use of advanced technologies to guide neurosurgeons in treating spinal disease and adult brain tumors. There he worked in private practice for more than 15 years, caring for adults with degenerative spinal disorders and malignant brain tumors. He subsequently worked as an Associate Professor of Neurological Surgery at the University of California, San Francisco and as a Neurosurgeon at Kaweah Health.
Quattrocchi is a fellow of the American College of Surgeons (FACS), member of the American Association of Neurological Surgeons, Congress of Neurological Surgeons and North American Spine Society. He is married with 3 children and is the owner and founder of a large astronomical observatory complex serving universities and space industries, located in California (Sierra Remote Observatories).
