Quick Summary

Education:

Dr. Norbash received his medical degree from the University of Missouri-Kansas City 6 year BA/MD program

Achievements:

He has developed a number of endovascular tools and products which are in clinical usage, has given over 430 lectures and invited presentations in all continents except Antarctica

Alexander Norbash joined Boston University in March 2004 as Chairman and Professor of Radiology. He is an interventional neuroradiologist with an active endovascular neurosurgical practice, specific clinical interests include the endovascular treatment of aneurysms, stroke, chronic cerebrovascular ischemia, and high flow cerebrovascular malformations. His research interests include translational engineering collaborations resulting in novel tools and materials for endovascular neurologic therapies, and more recently endovascular and interventional simulation and teaching systems. Dr. Norbash was appointed Assistant Dean for Diversity and Multicultural Affairs in 2011. Immediately prior to joining Boston University Medical Center Professor Norbash served as Director of Diagnostic and Interventional Neuroradiology at the Brigham and Women's Hospital from 2000-2004, and founded the Endovascular Neurosurgical and Interventional Neuroradiology practices at the Brigham and Women's Hospital.

Dr. Norbash received his medical degree from the University of Missouri-Kansas City 6 year BA/MD program, graduated from the University of Pittsburgh Radiology Residency, and completed fellowships in both Diagnostic and Interventional Neuroradiology at Stanford University. He served on the Stanford faculty from 1994-1998, and on the faculty of the Massachusetts General Hospital from 1998-2000. Dr. Norbash received a Master's Degree in Health Care Management from the Harvard School of Public Health in 2004.

He has developed a number of endovascular tools and products which are in clinical usage, has given over 430 lectures and invited presentations in all continents except Antarctica, and has an active interest in International Medicine and Radiology.

 

The Academy of Radiology Research is an alliance of 26 professional imaging societies. Established in 1995, the Academy was the catalyst for creating the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB), for supporting its growth and development, for accelerating investment in vital imaging research areas by other NIH institutes, and for building support for radiology and imaging in Congress and the Executive Branch. The Academy also compiles data on imaging research, such as NIH rankings of grants to Radiology departments.
