Redi Rahmani, MD. Neurosurgery Resident at the University of Rochester.
Redi Rahmani completed his undergraduate education at Cornell University and attended Dartmouth for medical school. He is now a sixth-year neurosurgery resident at the University of Rochester. He was recently awarded the Brain Aneurysm Foundation Grant to study the role of senescent cells in intracranial aneurysm formation. In the previous year, he was awarded the Robert Dempsey AANS/CNS Cerebrovascular Section Award to study the pathophysiology of vitamin D deficiency in the formation and rupture of intracranial aneurysms. He did so at the Barrow Neurological Institute in Dr. Tomoki Hashimoto's laboratory. While there he also completed a clinical and research fellowship with Dr. Michael Lawton and the Robert F Spetzler Neurosurgery Research Fellowship. He has also played an instrumental role in designing and constructing a new state-of-the-art University of Rochester Neurosurgery training laboratory in addition to securing key industry grants for development. He has also initiated two grant-funded multi-center clinical trials on thromboelastography and lumbar drainage for aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. This has lead to a textbook contract with McGraw Hill on the management of these drains in addition to 50+ publications in his specialty. He is very grateful to the U of R department of Neurosurgery to be given his many opportunities and hopes to use his experiences as his foundation for developing a career as a neurosurgeon-scientist.
