Biography
Chair Lillian S. Wells Department of Neurosurgery
James and Brigitte Marino Family Professor
University of Florida College of Medicine
Chief of Medical Staff, UF Health Shands
Brian Hoh, MD, MBA, FACS, FAHA, FAANS, is an internationally known expert in the treatment of brain aneurysms, brain arteriovenous malformations, and ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke. He is chair of the Lillian S. Wells Department of Neurosurgery at the University of Florida College of Medicine. He is Chief of Medical Staff for UF Health Shands.
Dr. Hoh graduated from Stanford University with a Bachelor of Arts and Science degree in biology and political science. He attended medical school at Columbia University in New York, where he graduated with Alpha Omega Alpha honors. Dr. Hoh completed his internship in surgery, residency in neurological surgery and fellowship in interventional neuroradiology at Harvard University at Massachusetts General Hospital. He graduated with an MBA from the University of Florida Hough Graduate School of Business with Beta Gamma Sigma honors.
Dr. Hoh is board-certified by the American Board of Neurological Surgery (ABNS) with additional certification of Recognition of Focused Practice by the ABNS for CNS Endovascular Surgery.
Dr. Hoh is a national leader in neurosurgery. He is past-President of the Congress of Neurological Surgeons, past-chair of the Joint American Association of Neurological Surgeons/Congress of Neurosurgical Surgeons Cerebrovascular Section, a member of the American Academy of Neurological Surgery, Society of Neurological Surgeons, American Association of Neurological Surgeons, Florida Neurosurgical Society, and a senior member of the Society for Neurointerventional Surgery. He is currently on the Board of Directors of the American Board of Neurological Surgery (ABNS).
Dr. Hoh is a past co-chair and member of the editorial board of Journal of Neurosurgery and a past member of the editorial board of World Neurosurgery.
Dr. Hoh is an NIH-U01-funded principal investigator of the CAPTIVA (Comparison of Anticoagulation and anti-Platelet Therapies for Intracranial Vascular Atherostenosis) Trial, an NIH StrokeNet multicenter prospective double-blinded randomized trial for stroke prevention in patients with symptomatic intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis.
Dr. Hoh is an NIH-R01-funded principal investigator of basic science research investigating the biologic mechanisms of cerebral aneurysm formation and rupture, brain injury after subarachnoid hemorrhage, as well as innovative tissue engineering technology to improve the treatment of cerebral aneurysms. He is also an investigator on national and international clinical trials focused on stroke, cerebral aneurysms, carotid stenting and endarterectomy, and vasospasm.
Dr. Hoh is a leader in neurosurgical education. He is the past director of the UF residency program and the UF endovascular surgical neuroradiology fellowship program, both ACGME-accredited training programs.
