About Dr. Das

Dr. Das occupies a critical niche that few academic neurosurgeons fill: she is both a fellowship-trained skull base surgeon (Cleveland Clinic) and the director of one of the country's only dedicated neurosurgical trauma fellowships. At UChicago's Level 1 Trauma Center — which serves one of the highest-volume trauma populations in the Midwest — she manages some of the most complex and acute injuries in neurosurgery. Her team developed the UChicago PBI Imaging Score, a novel way to use CT scans to predict outcomes in gunshot wound patients, published in the Journal of Neurotrauma (2025). She was recognized by the Bucksbaum-Siegler Institute for Clinical Excellence — a selective UChicago honor for outstanding patient care. She speaks English and Bengali.
