Issam Awad, MSc, MD
Dr. Awad is widely recognized for career long contributions and special skills in Neurovascular Surgery. He has made numerous scientific discoveries including the characterization of subcortical ischemic lesions in the aged, advances in the understanding of the natural history and biologic behavior of vascular malformations of the brain, and technical developments in neurovascular and epilepsy surgery. His research has been funded by the National Institutes of Health since 1998, focusing currently on molecular mechanisms of cerebral vascular malformations and their biomarkers, and minimally invasive techniques for treating hemorrhagic stroke. Awad’s innovations are changing neurosurgical practice throughout the world, and he has trained scores of neurosurgeons, some of whom are leaders of neurosurgical departments in a number of countries. His scholarly work has been cited more than 35,000 times (H Index 84). Dr. Awad has served in leadership roles at several national professional societies, he has been inducted in the Association of American Physicians, and he currently serves on the U.S. National Advisory Council for Neurological Disorders and Stroke.
