Tipu Zahed Aziz (Bengali: টিপু আজিজ জাহেদ; 9 November 1956–October 2024) was a Bangladeshi-born British professor of neurosurgery at the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford, Aarhus Denmark and Porto, Portugal. He specialised in the study and treatment of Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, dystonia, spasmodic torticollis, fixed abnormal posture of the neck, tremor, and intractable neuropathic pain.[1][2] Besides his medical work, he was also notable as a public commentator in support of animal experimentation. Professor Aziz died in October 2024,[3] having been earlier that year honoured by the British Society for Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery for his colossal contributions to world neurosurgery.
