Dr. Na is a pediatric and adult neuro-oncologist at the UCSF Brain Tumor Center and one of the few specialists in the country with an active practice treating both pediatric and adult brain and spinal cord tumors. He serves as Co-Director of the UCSF Comprehensive Neurofibromatosis Center, the only Children's Tumor Foundation-designated Comprehensive NF-1 and Schwannomatosis Center in California, and is a full member of the Neurofibromatosis Clinical Trials Consortium (NFCTC).
His research focuses on translational and clinical studies in neurofibromatosis and schwannomatosis, working to advance novel discoveries from the laboratory into clinical practice through clinical trials. With expertise in both pediatric and adult neuro-oncology, he is also dedicated to optimizing survivorship for pediatric neuro-oncology patients and improving care for adults with traditionally pediatric neuro-oncologic conditions.
Dr. Na earned his bachelor's degree in History and Science from Harvard College and his medical degree from Drexel University College of Medicine. He completed his pediatrics residency at Case Western Reserve University and a pediatric hematology/oncology fellowship at UCLA. Inspired by his patients, he pursued further training, earning a Ph.D. in Molecular and Medical Pharmacology at UCLA through the prestigious STAR Program, followed by an additional fellowship in adult neuro-oncology at UCLA.
