Takuma Maeda Email & Phone Number

Takuma Maeda, MD, PhD, began his professional career as a neurosurgeon at the Saitama Medical University International Medical Center in Japan. There, he diligently treated patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage using both surgical clipping and endovascular coiling. Despite these best efforts, there were cases where patients could not be saved. This realization motivated him to pursue basic research to better understand the mechanisms underlying subarachnoid hemorrhage and to explore strategies for prevention and treatment. Following the completion of his neurosurgery residency program, Dr. Maeda shifted his focus to basic research on amyloid-beta related endothelial cell injury. In 2023, he joined the Barrow Neurological Institute, where he concentrates on intracranial aneurysm research. He is confident that his current research environment and ongoing research proposal will provide a strong foundation for his long-term goal of developing pharmacological interventions to prevent intracranial aneurysm rupture and improve outcomes for patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage.
