Summary

Kamil W. Nowicki, MD, PhD is a neurosurgeon with subspecialty training in endovascular neurosurgery. He graduated summa cum laude from the University of Florida with a degree in chemistry. He obtained his combined MD-PhD from the University of Florida College of Medicine in 2016. During medical school he served as the director for Equal Access Clinic, a free, mobile clinic for under-served population in Gainesville, FL. He graduated from neurosurgery residency at UPMC / University of Pittsburgh in 2023 where he completed 1yr of enfolded endovascular fellowship. He then completed another year of endovascular fellowship at Yale University / Yale - New Haven Hospital. During residency he was actively involved exploring the role of inflammatory cytokines in cerebral aneurysm formation. In 2019 he won the Best Basic Science Award - Cerebrovascular at CNS. In 2023 he won the Academy Award from the American Academy of Neurological Surgery. He received 5 grant awards from the Brain Aneurysm Foundation, 3 awards from the Pittsburgh Foundation, and a pilot award funded by NIH UL01 mechanism. His work has resulted in several invention disclosures and patent applications. He is a co-investigator on NSF SBIR Phase I award.
