Levy went to [[Dartmouth College]] to study [[molecular biology]] and [[biochemistry]]. He began medical school in 1993 at The [[George Washington University]] in Washington, D.C.<ref name="buffalo.edu"/>, where he became interested in Orthopedic Surgery. However, when he did not secure the summer orthopedic internship after his freshman year, he chose to do a summer research project with Dr. Laligam Sekhar, the Chairman of Neurosurgery at George Washington University at the time, since then neurosurgery became his focus. <ref>https://ryortho.com/2009/11/dr-elad-levy/</ref>

Following graduation in 1993, Levy began his surgical internships and training in neurosurgery at the University of Pittsburgh, one of the highest volume programs in the country. As a young intern, he quickly learned the importance of innovation and the obligation to push the field forward for better care of neurosurgical patients. Following in the footsteps of Dr. Peter Jannetta, the “father of microvascular decompression,” and Dr. Dade Lunsford, who introduced Gamma-knife radiosurgery to the University of Pittsburgh, Levy pursued minimally invasive endovascular neurosurgery by spending 2 years of his residency in Buffalo, as a fellow under Dr. L. Nelson Hopkins, the “father of neurointerventional surgery" <ref>https://ryortho.com/2009/11/dr-elad-levy/</ref> . He completed his fellowship training in 2003 and returned to Pittsburgh to finish his residency training in 2004 <ref>http://medicine.buffalo.edu/faculty/profile.html?ubit=eladlevy</ref> .

InstitutionsState University of New York at Buffalo



Elad I. Levy is an American neurosurgeon, researcher, and innovator. In 2013 he became Professor of Neurosurgery and Radiology, and the L. Nelson Hopkins, MD Professor Endowed Chair of the Department of Neurosurgery at the State University of New York at Buffalo (SUNY).[1][2]

In 2011 Levy founded and is currently the president for the "Program for Understanding Childhood Concussion & Stroke” (PUCCS), which aims to promote research and awareness to prevent concussion in all sports.[3]. In 2013 he became the unaffiliated National Football League (NFL) Neurotrauma consultant for the Buffalo Bills[4]. In 2017 he was appointed as one of 12 National Directors to the American Board of Neurological Surgeons[5]. In 2018 he was appointed Secretary to the Congress of Neurological Surgeons Executive Committee [6] and also appointed to the Ethics Committee for the American Association of Neurological Surgeons[7]. He is also the Director of Stroke Research and Director of Endovascular Stroke Treatment and Research at the Department of Neurosurgery, SUNY at Buffalo, Co-Director of Kaleida Health Stroke Center, and Co-Director of Cerebrovascular Surgery at the Department of Neurosurgery, SUNY at Buffalo [8]. Levy is nationally and internationally recognized for his work in neurovascular diseases, most notably stroke.

Early Life and Education

Levy was born in Tiberias, Israel in 1972. His father went to medical school in Italy, where Dr. Levy learned to speak Italian, in addition to English in school and Hebrew at home. At the age of seven, he immigrated to the United States. After his father’s residency training in obstetrics and gynecology in New York City, his family settled in rural northern upstate New York close to Montreal, where his dad joined a solo Obstetrics and gynecology practice. Growing up, Levy spent his summers with his father’s family in Israel.

In his early years, Levy went to the local schools until his last two years of high school, which he spent at Choate Rosemary Hall, a private boarding school in Wallingford, Connecticut. There, he became interested in rowing, which eventually became his passion. He went on to win 2 gold medals at the Maccabi Games in 1990. His involvement in rowing continued through his time at Dartmouth College, where he joined the U.S. Junior National Rowing team in 1991, and Dartmouth won the NCAA rowing competition in 1992 [9].


Higher Education and Training

Levy went to Dartmouth College to study molecular biology and biochemistry. He began medical school in 1993 at The George Washington University in Washington, D.C.[8], where he became interested in Orthopedic Surgery. However, when he did not secure the summer orthopedic internship after his freshman year, he chose to do a summer research project with Dr. Laligam Sekhar, the Chairman of Neurosurgery at George Washington University at the time, since then neurosurgery became his focus. [10]

Following graduation in 1993, Levy began his surgical internships and training in neurosurgery at the University of Pittsburgh, one of the highest volume programs in the country. As a young intern, he quickly learned the importance of innovation and the obligation to push the field forward for better care of neurosurgical patients. Following in the footsteps of Dr. Peter Jannetta, the “father of microvascular decompression,” and Dr. Dade Lunsford, who introduced Gamma-knife radiosurgery to the University of Pittsburgh, Levy pursued minimally invasive endovascular neurosurgery by spending 2 years of his residency in Buffalo, as a fellow under Dr. L. Nelson Hopkins, the “father of neurointerventional surgery" [10] . He completed his fellowship training in 2003 and returned to Pittsburgh to finish his residency training in 2004 [11] .

In later years, Levy also completed his Masters of Business Administration at Northeastern University and graduated Magna Cum Laude in 2013.[8]

Academic and Professional Career

Levy started his academic and professional career as an Associate Professor of Neurosurgery and Radiology at the State University of New York (SUNy) at Buffalo in 2004. . The following year in 2005, he became the Director for Stroke Research, and Co-Director of Cerebrovascular Surgery at the Department of Neurosurgery, SUNY at Buffalo. He was also appointed as Co-Director of Kaleida Health Stroke Center and the Director of Endovascular Stroke Treatment and Research in 2006. He also served as the Endovascular Fellowship Program Director for the Department of Neurosurgery, SUNY at Buffalo from 2006 to 2013.

In 2010, Levy was promoted to the title of Professor of Neurosurgery and Radiology becoming one of the youngest tenured professors in the SUNY system. [12]. Subsequently, in 2013 when Dr. L. Nelson Hopkins retired as the Chair of Neurosurgery, Levy rapidly emerged as the top candidate among several candidates across the nation, demonstrating the administrative, scientific, clinical, leadership and visionary skills necessary for the growth of the department[2]. Since becoming the Chairman at University at Buffalo, Neurosurgery, Levy has recruited some of the best trained young neurosurgeons and more than doubled the size of the faculty [11]. Leading by example, he promoted the academic productivity of the department, which secured a top 5 ranking for endovascular neurosurgery. [13] [11]

Levy served as an invited Guest Examiner for Oral Examinations for the American Board of Neurosurgeons in 2014, 2016, 2017, and 2018. He has trained several physicians from all around the globe, and chaired the 2014 Scientific Program and the 2015 Annual Meeting of the Congress of Neurological Surgeons[14].


Select Awards and Recognitions

  • 2017: Buffalo Business First “Power 250 Award” for most influential business and community leaders[15]
  • 2015: The George Washington University “Distinguished Alumni Achievement Award” for special recognition of professional accomplishments. The “Distinguished Alumni Achievement Award” is one of the most prestigious honors bestowed by the University[16]
  • 2014: State University of New York “Chancellor’s Award” for Excellence in Scholarship and Creative Activities[17]
  • 2014: Recipient of the “2014 Hero of the Heart” Award for the American Heart Association in Western New York. Recognized as a “world renowned physician’. Given to community members who help spread the American Heart Association’s lifesaving mission[18]

Research

Levy has helped develop and perfect the endovascular treatment modalities for stroke. His research work focuses on neurovascular diseases such as stroke, brain aneurysms and vessel malformations. He has published and lectured extensively on the endovascular techniques for cerebrovascular disorders[19], including more than 350 peer-reviewed publications and more than 200 book chapters[20] [21]. He has also contributed several live cases for national and international meetings as well as for community education [22]. He has been involved with research resulting in paradigm shifts in the treatment of cerebrovascular diseases, including being the US Interventional Principal Investigator for the infamous SWIFT PRIME trials.
