    Luca Regli, MD

    Chairman and Porfessor
    University Zurich, University Hospital Zurich, Department of Neurosurgery

    Luca Regli studied Medicine at the University of Lausanne, and trained under the mentorship of Dr. Nicolas de Tribolet. His commitment to advancing microsurgical techniques led him to undertake a research and clinical fellowship at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, USA, working closely with Dr. Fredric B. Meyer and Dr. David Piepgras. During this period, he specialized in the microsurgical treatment of complex vascular and skull base lesions.
    Upon completing his fellowship, Luca Regli returned to the University Hospital Lausanne. His expertise was recognized with an appointment as full professor and chair of neurosurgery at the University Medical Center of Utrecht, the Netherlands, in 2008. In 20212, Luca Regli was invited to assume the position as chair of the Department of Neurosurgery at the University Hospital Zurich and full professor at the University of Zurich. This appointment placed him in the lineage of renowned neurosurgeons like Dr. U. Krayenbuehl, Dr. M. G. Yaşargil, and Dr. Y. Yonekawa. The department remains an international reference center for cerebrovascular diseases, skull base surgery and neuro-oncology.
    Luca Regli's research projects have been driven by clinical inquiries about cerebral hemodynamics, and applications of machine intelligence in clinical neuroscience with the direct goal of improving patient care. His focus extends to pioneering surgical techniques for cerebral revascularization and intra-operative imaging. His academic contributions are evident in a prolific publication record, comprising over 500 articles in peer-reviewed journals and 18 chapters in textbooks. He is an appreciated guest speaker in meetings. His stature within the neurosurgical community is further underscored by the frequent invitations as honored guest speaker and numerous referrals of patients with complex vascular and skull base lesions, a proof to his widely acknowledged leadership in this domain.
