Biographical Sketch
Alhamza R. Al-Bayati, MD, received his medical degree from University of Baghdad, College of Medicine. He completed his neurology residency at Loma Linda University Health in California then pursued further training in vascular neurology at UPMC and neurointerventional radiology at Emory University School of Medicine.
He is a board certified vascular and interventional neurologist, a diligent member on multiple national and institutional committees as well as ad hoc reviewer of numerous highly regarded scientific journals. He served as the site principal investigator of multiple clinical trials.
Dr. Al-Bayati involved in a robust clinical and scientific research mission in one of the nation's busiest stroke centers. The complex clinical exposure along with his exceptional past and current mentorship are crucial components for him to continue growing as a productive contributor to the field and advance UPMC Stroke institute in further cerebrovascular excellence and ultimately improve patient outcomes.
