Dr Michael Levitt is an Associate Professor of Neurological Surgery, Radiology and Mechanical Engineering. He is a board-certified neurosurgeon with a focused practice in the surgical treatment of cerebrovascular disease. Dr. Levitt\u2019s research has been funded by the NIH, the American Heart Association and other foundations since 2011, with research focused on cerebral aneurysm pathophysiology. His lab pioneered the incorporation of endovascular Doppler measurements to improve boundary condition accuracy in fluid dynamics simulations; the application of microtomography, 3D-printed models and materials science techniques in the characterization of endovascular aneurysm treatment; and the use of endothelialized 3D-printed models to measure the effect of hemodynamic stresses on the transcriptional activity of vascular endothelial cells. As the Scientific Director of the UW Stroke & Applied Neuroscience Center, a multidisciplinary organized research unit, he maintains close collaborations with physician-scientists and researchers in multiple disciplines including radiology, bioengineering, cardiothoracic surgery, mechanical engineering, psychiatry and genomics. He has served on multiple NIH and AHA grant review study sections focusing on surgery, neuroscience and small businesses, and is the current national chair of research for the American Association of Neurological Surgeons\/Congress of Neurological Surgeons Cerebrovascular Section.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
