About Matthias Radatz

Born in Berlin, following my A-levels at the renowned Heese Gymnasium , I studied Medicine at the “Free University of Berlin”. My Neurosurgical Training took place at major teaching insitutions  in Berlin, Krankenhaus Neukölln under Prof J Zierski and in Sheffield, Royal Hallamshire Hospital under Mr D Forster, Mr J Jakubowski, Mr RDE Battersby and Mr AA Kemeny (2/1994-6/1996).  Here my interest in Gamma Knife Radiosurgery was established. After my return to Berlin I completed my neurosurgical training in May 1997, continuing as Facharzt under Prof. J Zierski.
