About

Dr. Evelina Miele is a pioneering neuro-oncologist whose research centers on the molecular characterization and surgical management of pediatric brain tumors, with a particular focus on diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG). Her most-cited work, a 2017 study on robot-assisted stereotactic biopsy of DIPG, has garnered 70 citations and fundamentally advanced the field by demonstrating the safety and feasibility of obtaining tumor tissue from this historically inoperable brainstem malignancy. This breakthrough enabled subsequent molecular profiling, which has been critical in identifying genetic drivers and therapeutic targets for DIPG. Dr. Miele’s contributions have reshaped clinical paradigms, moving DIPG from a diagnosis based solely on imaging to one informed by precise histology and genomics. Her work has directly influenced international treatment protocols and opened new avenues for targeted therapies, making her a leading voice in pediatric neuro-oncology. With a citation impact that underscores her influence, Dr. Miele continues to drive translational research that bridges surgical innovation and molecular medicine, offering renewed hope for children facing these devastating tumors.
