🎓 EARLY ACADEMIC PURSUITS
Dr. Dibya Jyoti Mahakul’s journey into the field of neurosurgery began with his MBBS from MKCG Medical College & Hospital, Brahmapur (2006–2011), followed by a one-year internship at the same institute. His academic foundation was fortified through his MS in General Surgery at PGIMER, Chandigarh (2013–2016), and culminated with an MCh in Neurosurgery from the prestigious AIIMS, New Delhi (2017–2020)—a gold standard in surgical training. These rigorous milestones were complemented by multiple international fellowships across Korea, Japan, and the USA, enriching his perspective and technical expertise.
🏢 PROFESSIONAL ENDEAVORS
Dr. Mahakul has steadily ascended the academic and clinical ladder. From junior and senior resident positions in surgical oncology and neurosurgery at elite institutions like PGIMER and AIIMS, he progressed to consultant neurosurgeon roles at Fortis Hospital and Rajiv Gandhi Cancer Institute, Delhi. Currently, he serves as an Assistant Professor of Neurosurgery at GIPMER, New Delhi, contributing not only as a clinician but also as an academician and scientific organizer of national-level workshops and conferences. He also held a role as a Link Officer for the G20 Summit in Delhi, demonstrating leadership beyond clinical duties.
📚 CONTRIBUTIONS AND RESEARCH FOCUS IN NEUROONCOLOGY
Dr. Mahakul’s neurosurgical repertoire is particularly enriched by his dedicated work in neuro-oncology. He has performed numerous complex brain and spine tumor surgeries and has an MCh thesis focused on recurrent pituitary adenomas, indicating deep engagement with challenging neuro-oncological cases. His fellowship at RGCIRC, Delhi, further enhanced his oncological acumen. His commitment is reflected in multiple national and international conference presentations on gliomas, skull base defects, and medulloblastomas. His active role as panelist, quizmaster, chairperson, and faculty instructor at academic conclaves like SKULLBASECON, NEUROVASCON, and NSSA Spinecon underscore his academic leadership in the domain.
