Arthur L. Jenkins III is an American fellowship-trained neurosurgeon, co-director of the Neurosurgical Spine Program, and Director of Spinal Oncology and Minimally Invasive Spinal Surgery (MIS) Program at the Mount Sinai Hospital, New York.[1] Additionally, he is an associate professor of Neurosurgery and of Orthopedic Surgery at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine.[2] Dr. Jenkins has multiple patents and patent applications for spine-related implants and support systems,[3] and is developing new minimally invasive treatments for patients with cancer that has spread to the spine.[4] He is an innovator in the treatment of acute spinal cord injury as well as degenerative and congenital anomalies of the spine, taking a minimally invasive or minimal-impact approach where possible.[5] He is board certified in Neurological Surgery[6] and is licensed in New York and Connecticut.

Biography

Jenkins received his B.A. in chemistry at the University of Pennsylvania in 1989 and his M.D. at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine in 1993. He interned in surgery at the New York University Medical Center from 1993-1994, was in residence at the Department of Neurosurgery at the Mount Sinai Medical Center from 1994-2000 and was fellow under Dr. Eric Woodard in Complex Spinal Surgery, at the Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts from 2000-2001.[7] Jenkins' present professional appointments include medical advisory board member of the Alan T. Brown Spinal Cord Injury Foundation[8] and neurosurgical consultant for players with spinal disorders for the National Football League's Retired Player Program [9] as well as the New York Jets professional football team. In 2001, Jenkins was named an Honorary Police Surgeon of the New York City Police Department.[10]

Neurotect, LLC.

He started a company, called Neurotect LLC [11] to develop the technology for prevention of spinal or orthopedic injuries, or to facilitate the extraction of accident victims trapped in a vehicle. This company is working with his team and other collaborators to bring these safety devices to the market, with an eye on reducing the need for, or severity of, neurosurgical treatment for these accident victims.

Academic Research

Dr. Jenkins conducts his research at the Icahn School of Medicine [12] and it is related to neurosurgery and spinal surgery. His clinical research focuses on developing new techniques to treat various conditions, managing post-operative pain, developing or advancing procedures that preserve motion, and stem cell injections for spinal cord injuries. His scientific research focuses on treatments for spinal cord injury-acute and delayed intervention. This includes surgical techniques to restore function lost below the level of injury. His current research includes minimally invasive surgery for metastatic disease to the spinal bones, assessment of mobility recovery after spinal surgery using wireless technology, a prospective study for minimally invasive surgery for spine metastases, spine surgery outcomes research, mindfulness meditation for spine surgery pain, and InVivo’s clinical study of its investigational Neuro-Spinal Scaffold in patients with acute spinal cord injury. He has published and presented nationally and internationally on the subjects of spinal cord injury, spinal tumors, and minimally invasive spinal surgery as well as on general spinal surgical outcomes. He is a member of multiple research groups, but is known for his work in three main areas in addition to general outcomes research:

Dr. Jenkins pioneered a new and minimally invasive way of performing spinal tumor surgery [13] one that reduces the risks and increases the benefits when compared to open standard surgical treatments for tumors of the spine. Dr. Jenkins developed, with the Radiation Oncologist Dr. Jamie Cesaretti, an implantable device to protect the spinal cord from damage from radiation therapy given to patients with spinal tumors. This device would allow for higher doses of radiation to the tumor while protecting the spinal cord.[14]

Dr. Jenkins is the director of the Mount Sinai Neurosurgery Spinal Cord Injury Laboratory,[15] and in that capacity is also collaborating with Dr. Avraham Dilmanian [16] of the Brookhaven National Laboratory and Stonybrook University in developing novel treatments for spinal cord injury(ref Dilmanian articles). Dr. Jenkins is currently the Principal Investigator at Mount Sinai for the InVivo clinical trial for Complete Traumatic Acute Spinal Cord Injury [17] as well as the principal surgeon for the StemCellsInc clinical trial for Stem Cell Transplantation in Cervical Spinal Cord Injury.[18] He was honored by the Alan T. Brown Foundation in 2015 for his clinical and research work on spinal cord injured patients.[19]

Dr. Jenkins, in conjunction with Dr. Patricia Bloom,[20] has developed a program to test the hypothesis that Mindfulness Meditation can reduce the need for post-operative pain medications after spinal surgery procedures.[21]

He is on the Board of Directors of the Orthopedic Foundation for Active Lifestyles.[22]
