Machine Learning in Clinical Neuroscience

Victor E. Staartjes: Dr. Victor Staartjes is the group leader of the Machine Intelligence in Clinical Neuroscience (MICN) Laboratory and a neurosurgery resident at the University Hospital Zurich under Prof. L. Regli. Originating from Amsterdam, he received his medical degree from the University of Zurich and is studying for a PhD in clinical machine learning at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. Dr. Staartjes' research interests are in applications of machine learning to medical imaging and clinical prediction modeling, as well as robotic neurosurgery and personalized / precision medicine. Luca Regli: Prof. Luca Regli studied medicine at the University of Lausanne, he trained with Nicolas de Tribolet and obtained board certification in neurosurgery. At the renowned Mayo Clinic in Rochester, USA he specialized in the microsurgical treatment of complex intracranial lesions. In 2008 he was called as a full professor and chairman of neurosurgery at the University Medical Center of Utrecht, the Netherlands. In 2012 the University of Zurich nominated him as full professor and the University Hospital Zurich invited him to chair the Department of Neurosurgery, following into the steps of famous predecessors of Prof. Krayenbuehl, Prof. Yaşargil, Prof. Yonekawa, and Prof. Bertalanffy, which is a renowned international reference center for cerebrovascular diseases, neuro-oncology and functional neurosurgery. Prof. Regli has developed his research interests driven by clinical questions in the domain of cerebral ischemia, cerebral metabolism, cerebral homeostasis and edema as well as in cutting-edge surgical techniques for cerebral revascularization and intra-operative imaging. The academic activity is reflected in over 265 publications in peer reviewed journals and 18 chapters in textbooks. As one of the worldwide leading experts in neurosurgery he is regularly invited as speaker at meetings all over the world. The clinical expertise is reflected in the daily management of patients with cerebrovascular lesions as well as brain tumors. He has personally treated microsurgically more than 1000 patients with cerebral aneurysms. As a recognized leading expert for management of vascular lesions he regularly gets referrals of patients with complex vascular lesions. Carlo Serra Dr. Carlo Serra is an assistant professor of neurosurgery and senior neurosurgeon at the University Hospital Zurich and co-leads the MICN Laboratory. Originating from Venice, Dr. Serra completed his medical studies and part of residency in Milan. He then moved to Zurich where he trained with Prof. L. Regli. During a fellowship with Prof. U. Türe and Prof. M.G. Yaşargil in Istanbul, he developed a special expertise in brain tumor and skull base surgery as well as microneurosurgical anatomy, specifically white matter fiber dissection. He is currently responsible for the neuro-oncology and skull base programs of the Department of Neurosurgery of the University Hospital Zurich. "
