Srikanth N Divi

Srikanth N Divi serves as Assistant Professor in the Departments of Orthopaedic Surgery and Neurological Surgery at Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine, specializing in spine surgery with clinical and research focus on cervical and lumbar pathologies.

His educational trajectory includes:

• BS from Johns Hopkins University (2009)
• MD from University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine (2013)
• Orthopaedic Surgery Residency at University of Chicago Medical Center (2018)
• Spine Surgery Fellowship at Rothman Institute/Thomas Jefferson University Hospital (2020)

Dr. Divi's research program centers on surgical outcomes optimization through analysis of healthcare utilization patterns, risk prediction models, and patient-specific factors like paraspinal sarcopenia. His work bridges clinical practice with data-driven decision-making to enhance recovery trajectories in complex spine procedures.

Analysis of his 2025 publications reveals a cohesive research trajectory focused on predictive analytics in spine surgery, with significant contributions to understanding emergency department utilization patterns, sarcopenia impacts, and instrumentation outcomes across cervical and lumbar domains using large-scale clinical datasets.

Major recognitions include:

• Fellow Member, American Association of Orthopaedic Surgeons (2024)
• 3rd Place Basic Science Research Award, Cervical Spine Research Society (2022)
• Top 10 Abstract, Cervical Spine Research Society (2022)

Dr. Divi actively mentors trainees including medical student Samuel Reyes who presented research at the Cervical Spine Research Society meeting. His industry collaborations with Alphatec Spine and Kuros Biosciences AG support translational research initiatives while maintaining academic integrity through formal disclosure protocols.

He leverages institutional resources through the Institute for Augmented Intelligence in Medicine and Northwestern University Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute (NUCATS) to advance AI-driven spine surgery innovation and clinical trial development.
