Stroke Expert from Yale University Named Chairman<\/p>\n

of UNMC Department of Neurological Sciences<\/p>\n

Pierre Fayad, M.D., an expert in stroke and neurovascular disease at<\/p>\n

Yale University, has been named Reynolds Centennial Professor and Chairman<\/p>\n

of the University of Nebraska Medical Center Department of Neurological<\/p>\n

Sciences.<\/p>\n

The appointment, which is effective April 1, is subject to approval<\/p>\n

of the University of Nebraska Board of Regents. Dr. Fayad, 44, is director<\/p>\n

of the Yale Vascular Neurology Program and co-director of the Yale Cerebrovascular<\/p>\n

Center.<\/p>\n

A native of Lebanon, Dr. Fayad can write and speak fluently in four<\/p>\n

languages. He earned his medical degree from the University of Rome in<\/p>\n

1983, then completed his internship and neurology residency training at<\/p>\n

the State University of New York at Buffalo.<\/p>\n

From 1989 to 1991, Dr. Fayad did a fellowship in vascular neurology<\/p>\n

and stroke at the Yale University School of Medicine. He was named an instructor<\/p>\n

in the Neurology Department at Yale in 1991 and was elevated to assistant<\/p>\n

professor in 1992 and associate professor in 1997.<\/p>\n

In coming to UNMC, Dr. Fayad takes over a newly structured department<\/p>\n

that will allow UNMC to better meet the increased neurological needs of<\/p>\n

the state and region, said James Armitage, M.D., dean of the UNMC College<\/p>\n

of Medicine. The department has been expanded to encompass neurophysiology,<\/p>\n

neuropharmacology and other related areas of the neurosciences.<\/p>\n

“Nebraska is one of the leading states in terms of the aging population.<\/p>\n

Since many neurological diseases are associated with older age, it’s important<\/p>\n

that we provide Omaha and Nebraska with the type of neurological care that<\/p>\n

is needed,” Dr. Fayad said. “My goal is to build a stroke program that<\/p>\n

will be the jewel of the department, UNMC and the region. With the many<\/p>\n

advances in care and research taking place nationally and internationally,<\/p>\n

UNMC should be a significant contributor in the advancement of the acute<\/p>\n

treatments of stroke and in its prevention.”<\/p>\n

In addition to stroke, Dr. Fayad also hopes to elevate the level of<\/p>\n

care that UNMC provides for other neurologic ailments, such as epilepsy,<\/p>\n

neuromuscular disease, movement disorders, and degenerative brain disorders<\/p>\n

like Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s dementia.<\/p>\n

An active researcher, Dr. Fayad continues to be a leading investigator<\/p>\n

in numerous studies investigating newer treatments of acute stroke. He<\/p>\n

has been an active investigator in several trials studying medical, interventional<\/p>\n

and surgical treatments for the acute treatment of stroke and its prevention,<\/p>\n

including several funded through the National Institutes of Health. He<\/p>\n

has more than 50 articles and chapters published in journals and books.<\/p>\n

He chairs or serves on several monitoring boards for national and international<\/p>\n

multicenter research studies, and he is a committed educator and a frequent<\/p>\n

national and international lecturer.<\/p>\n

Dr Fayad is an active member of several professional organizations and<\/p>\n

is a fellow on the Stroke Council of the American Stroke Association. He<\/p>\n

also served as co-chairman for the national media campaign, “Stroke in<\/p>\n

America,” through the National Stroke Association.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
