David Hasan

David Hasan is a Professor of Neurosurgery, Biomedical Engineering, and Neurology at Duke University, specializing in cerebrovascular diseases and skull base tumors. He is a dual-trained cerebrovascular and endovascular surgeon with over 2500 brain aneurysm cases using innovative techniques like awake surgery.

• Education: M.D. from Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center (2000), Neurosurgery Residency at University of Iowa (2001-2006), Endovascular Fellowship at Thomas Jefferson University (2008-2009).

His research focuses on cerebrovascular pathophysiology, stroke therapeutics, and personalized stem cell therapies for stroke. Key areas include subarachnoid hemorrhage management, aneurysm rupture prevention, and neurovascular inflammation.

Recent publications highlight his work on carotid artery thrombus risks, antithrombotic therapies for cavernous malformations, interleukin-1 as a biomarker for aneurysm instability, and comparative studies on endovascular techniques for intracranial stenosis and chronic subdural hematoma.

Dr. Hasan has secured significant NIH grants, including projects on comorbidity-specific stroke models, deferiprone for cognitive outcomes post-hemorrhage, and GTX-104 safety trials for aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage.
