Dr. Jamie Wright
Physician-Scientist and Patient Advocate
Dr. Jamie Wright was born with hydrocephalus and as a twenty-month-old, she had her first neurosurgical procedure to remove the excess cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in her brain. Since birth, she has had over 18 surgical procedures to manage her complex congenital hydrocephalus. She also has autonomic dysfunction, gastroparesis, endothelial corneal dystrophy, and idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH). Jamie became an advocate for herself and attended college to study Molecular Biology. With immense knowledge of her complex diseases and her heart in medicine, Jamie received an MD/Ph.D at McGovern Medical School in Texas. She also completed almost 2 years at the University of Washington School of Medicine’s Neurology Residency Program.
Now as a medical doctor, scientist, and patient, Dr. Jamie Wright uses her time to volunteer with organizations like the Hydrocephalus Association and promote awareness and community for those with CSF disorders. Dr. Wright is currently working part-time for BrainSpace where she is developing research initiatives with their new CSF management system.
