Scientific Leadership And Results
The Lisa Colagrossi Foundation Scientific and Medical Advisory Board (SMAB) is composed of leading neurosurgeons and healthcare professionals from institutions across the United States who specialize in Brain Aneurysms. The SMAB provides scientific and clinical expertise to guide us in planning and implementing our various awareness, education, research and support programs for patients, their families and caregivers, and healthcare professionals.
