Background

Christopher Jackson, M.D., is a neurosurgeon who sees patients at the Johns Hopkins Outpatient Center. Dr. Jackson specializes in brain tumors and cerebrovascular disorders, including glioma, meningioma, acoustic neuroma, trigeminal neuralgia, brain metastasis, arteriovenous malformation and aneurysms.

Dr. Jackson earned his medical degree from the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, where he also completed his neurosurgical residency. Dr. Jackson is also certified by the American Board of Neurological Surgery. During his residency, Dr. Jackson was honored with multiple distinctions, including the Frank L. Coulson Jr. Award for Clinical Excellence, the Irving J. Sherman Award for Resident Achievement, the Harvey Cushing Hunterian Research Award, and was elected to Alpha Omega Alpha.

Dr. Jackson is an active researcher who has published over 35 peer-reviewed articles on brain tumor and cerebrovascular immunology. His laboratory focuses on how brain tumors evade the immune system and become resistant to immunotherapy. Additionally, Dr. Jackson’s laboratory explores the formation of cerebral aneurysms and inflammatory complications of cerebral aneurysm rupture.
