Victoria E. Clark, M.D., Ph.D., is a Senior Associate Consultant in the Department of Neurologic Surgery and the State of Florida Endowed Chair of Cancer Research at the Mayo Clinic's Florida campus.

Dr. Clark graduated with a BA with high honors in Biochemical Sciences from Harvard. She earned her MD and PhD degrees from the Yale University School of Medicine, where she was awarded the degree of Doctor of Medicine cum laude for unusual academic merit and Doctor of Philosophy in Neuroscience with Distinction for her work characterizing the genomic architecture of meningiomas. She completed neurosurgery residency at the Massachusetts General Hospital and her clinical fellowship in neurosurgical oncology at the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Texas.

Dr. Clark's clinical practice is focused on the surgical treatment of primary and metastatic brain tumors, with an emphasis on incorporating technology such as motor and speech mapping to achieve maximal safe resection. In addition to her clinical activities, she directs a research lab to study the molecular mechanisms of meningioma formation, with an eye towards novel therapeutics.
