Dr. Khan earned his M.D. from Kashmir University in India and then completed his residency and internship at NUMC, Stony Brook NY followed by a Neuroradiology fellowship at Johns Hopkins. He joined Johns Hopkins in 2017 as Director of Non-Vascular Spine Intervention, recruited from the University of Mississippi Medical Center where he served as Associate Professor and Director of Neuroradiology for 7 years and now as professor since 2026. He was brought to Johns Hopkins specifically to establish and build an advanced interventional spine program, and his impact has been transformative.

Majid is internationally recognized leader in minimally invasive spine interventional procedures, best known for his pioneering work in Microwave Ablation (MWA) treatment of osseous and extra-osseous spinal tumors. He has performed over 1000 cases using MWA, the most in the world—and has attracted over 200 referrals specifically for bone tumor ablation from outside Maryland. His landmark research on MW ablation represents the largest cohort study of patients with spinal metastases to date, demonstrating this technique to be safe and effective. Through his efforts, Johns Hopkins has become one of few sites nationally offering this technique routinely. His work has fundamentally altered treatment paradigms for patients with painful spinal metastases, providing an alternative to more invasive surgical approaches. He is an integral part of the Spine Care team at Johns Hopkins

Dr. Khan's research extends beyond tumor ablation. His collaborative work on quantifying spinal osteopenia/osteoporosis on MRI earned the Outstanding Paper of the Year Award from the North American Spine Society in 2020. He has also made significant contributions to augmented reality-assisted screw placement, stereotactic body radiation therapy for spinal metastases, and spine augmentation techniques and is one of the few Spine interventionalists to offer implant Kyphoplasty which is being performed at Hopkins since 2018. Under his leadership, Johns Hopkins is both a national and international referral center for Tarlov Cyst interventions. He authored the textbook "Image Guided Interventions of Spine" in 2021 and served as Guest Editor for the Neuroimaging Clinics of North America edition on Advanced Spine Interventional Techniques in 2019 besides being author of more than 30 book chapters.

Dr. Khan has authored more than 100 peer-reviewed publications and also serves as invited reviewers for multiple prominent journals including Radiology, AJNR, JVIR and Pain medicine journal. Beyond scientific publishing, he serves on the Executive Committees of the American Society of Spine Radiology (ASSR) and the Eastern Neuroradiological Society (ENRS) and holds numerous committee positions with the American Society of Neuroradiology (ASNR).

He was instrumental in establishing the highly successful Hands-On spine interventional program at ASSR and has served as its co-Director since 2017. His recognition is further evidenced by numerous National and International invited lectures, recipient of prestigious Anne Osborn Outreach Professorship from the ASNR, and being lead instructor for more than 50 Hands-on cadaveric labs across the country, to train future Spine interventionalists.

Dr. Khan is also an exceptional educator, consistently ranking among the top teachers in both the Division of Neuroradiology and Division of Interventional Radiology. He organizes our popular annual Cadaveric Interventional Spine Workshop and has mentored numerous residents and fellows in advanced spine intervention techniques over the years.
