Scientific Leadership And Results

The Lisa 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.

This is a limited list of some of the notable medical professionals who have aligned themselves with the Lisa Foundation. All SMAB members contribute their expertise on a voluntary basis with no conflict of interest between their professional work and the volunteer work they do for the Lisa Foundation.
