  • Biography

    Jason S. Hauptman, MD, PhD, is a board-certified pediatric neurosurgeon and is an associate professor of neurological surgery.  He is a staff neurosurgeon at both Seattle Childrens Hospital and Harborview Medical Center.  He dedicates a significant portion of his clinical practice to the surgical management of epilepsy in children.  For the surgical management of epilepsy, he focuses on the utilization of stereoelectroencephalography (sEEG) including using the ROSA Robotic System, stereotactic laser thermoablation (LITT), neuromodulation such as VNS and RNS, and open surgery such as lobectomy, hemispherectomy, and corpus callosotomy.  As a pediatric neurosurgeon, his job is to take care of children with a wide variety of neurological conditions.  His mission is to deliver the absolute best care to each and every child, and to do it with compassion and diligence.  He is also working hard to increase our understanding and approach to neurological illness through a variety of research efforts and by collaborating with incredible colleagues in the laboratory and at all stages of healthcare delivery. 

    Dr. Hauptman also has a clinical interest in the surgery of tumors involving eloquent cortex, using techniques such as fMRI/rsfMRI planning and awake functional mapping.  His research focuses on translation of novel therapeutics to the bedside, including targeted molecular therapies for epilepsy, as well as patient-oriented approaches to improve outcomes in epilspsy and pediatric neurosurgery.

    Dr. Hauptman received his undergraduate degree from Muhlenberg College.  He then received his M.D. from the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey (now called Rutgers Medical School).  He went on to complete his neurological surgery residency at the University of California, Los Angeles under the leadership of Dr. Neil Martin.  During this time he also completed a doctoral degree in neuroscience, studying the cellular neurophysiology of epilepsy in cortical dysplasia and tuberous sclerosis.  He then went on to complete his pediatric neurosurgery fellowship at the Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh under the guidance of Dr. Ian Pollack.  He holds a certificate in clinical trials from the University of Washington.
