Heit neurointerventional research lab

Dr. Heit is an Assistant Professor of Radiology and, by courtesy, of Neurosurgery at Stanford University. He is the Chief of Neuroimaging and Neurointervention (interim) at Stanford University, the Director of Neuroradiology at the Stanford Stroke Center, and the Director of the Stanford Neurointerventional Surgery Fellowship at Stanford.

His interest in research was piqued as an undergraduate student at the University of Colorado at Boulder, where he was a member of Tom Cech's lab. He completed his MD and PhD degrees at Stanford University, an internal medicine internship at the Brigham and Women's Hospital, a radiology residency at Massachusetts General Hospital, and a neurointerventional radiology fellowship at Stanford. He has been an attending neurointerventional surgeon and physician scientist at Stanford since 2015.

Dr. Ostemeier is a post doc in the Heit Lab. She completed her MD at the Technical University of Munich. Before being recruited to Dr. Heit's lab at Stanford, she studied dual energy CT applications in radiology. Her research interests in the Heit Lab are focused on stroke imaging and developing artificial intelligence techniques for the evaluation of cerebral ischemia and hemorrhagic stroke. She is an avid runner and cyclist, and she enjoys climbing the hills overlooking the Stanford campus and Bay Area in her free time.

Dr. Adusumilli is Research Associate in the Heit Lab and a PGY-1 Surgery resident at Stanford. He discovered Neurointerventional Surgery while completing his BA and MD degrees at Washington University in St. Louis. His research in the Heit Lab focuses on novel measures of collateral blood flow in ischemic stroke patients, such as venous outflow. His long-term aspiration is to translate endovascular techniques to low-resource environments. Dr. Adusumilli will enter a Radiology Residency at Massachusetts General Hospital in 2022, and he will continue to collaborate with Dr. Heit after he moves to Boston.

Dr. Wolman is currently a Radiology Resident at Stanford and a Research Associate in the Heit Lab. Dr. Wolman completed his undergraduate degree at Brandeis University and his MD at Tufts University School of Medicine. Dr. Wolman will begin his Neurointerventional Surgery Fellowship at Stanford in 2020 after completion of his radiology residency. Dr. Wolman's research focuses on novel imaging techniques, such as dual energy CT and perfusion imaging, for the evaluation of acute ischemic stroke.

Ms. Kuraitis is a research assistant in the Heit Lab. She completed her undergraduate degree in the biological sciences with an emphasis on neuroscience at the University of Oregon. She has had prior research experience at Stanford University and University of California, San Diego, which included a study to determine if artificial intelligence could be used to screen patients with retinal diseases. Her research interests in the Heit Lab are focused on stroke imaging and predicting clinical outcomes of ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes.
