Dr. Aizenberg is an Associate Professor of Neurosurgery, Oncology and Pharmacology and Experimental Neuroscience at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. She is Board Certified by the American Board of Neurological Surgery. Dr. Aizenberg has completed fellowship training in Neurosurgical Oncology at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center and clinical and research fellowships in the Surgical Neurology Branch at the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) at the U. S. National Institutes of Health (NIH).

With a special interest in primary and metastatic tumors of the brain and spine and by utilizing special imaging and surgical techniques, Dr. Aizenberg is able to resect tumors in eloquent areas of the brain in ways to help prevent neurologic deficits. By individualized care, the best approach is determined for each patient so that they have maximal outcome. She works closely with radiation oncologists, neuro-oncologists, oncologists, neuroradiologists, neuropathologists, and neuropsychologists to provide the most comprehensive care for oncology patients. With this multi-disciplinary approach, comprehensive Neuro-Oncology care can be provided for patients with central nervous system tumors. With this in mind, Dr. Aizenberg was instrumental in establishing the Brain and Spine Cancer Center (BASCC) at the Nebraska Medical Center. In 2009, she was named the Director of the BASCC.
