Philip E. Stieg (born July 1952) is an American academic physician and neurosurgeon. He has been the Neurosurgeon-in-Chief of NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center since 2000.[1]
Early life[edit]
Stieg was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.[2]
Education[edit]
Stieg earned a B.S. degree in zoology from the University of Wisconsin–Madison in 1974.[3] He pursued graduate studies in neuroanatomy and neuroscience at Albany Medical College, and was awarded a Ph.D. in 1980. He then attended medical school at the Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee, completing his M.D. degree in 1983.[1]
Stieg was a resident in general surgery and neurosurgery at the University of Texas-Southwestern Medical School and Parkland Memorial Hospital. Thereafter, he did a fellowship in cell transplantation for restorative neurological function at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden.
Professional career[edit]
Stieg joined the faculty of Harvard Medical School, Brigham and Women's Hospital, and Children's Hospital of Boston in Boston, Massachusetts in 1989.[2] He developed research and clinical interests in cerebral protection and restorative function, neural transplantation, neuronal regeneration after stroke, cerebrovascular surgery, and surgery of the skull base.[4][5][6][7] His research has focused on the mechanisms of injury in the central nervous system after trauma and the mechanisms of cell-membrane transport and their implications after traumatic brain injury.[1][8]
In 2000, Stieg was named Professor and Chair of the Department of Neurosurgery at Weill-Cornell Medical College and New York-Presbyterian Medical Center in New York City. He has been listed in Who's Who in Health and Medical Services and The Best Doctors in America.[1] He has authored more than 100 peer-reviewed publications in the medical literature[9] and has co-edited a textbook titled Intracranial Arteriovenous Malformations.[10] In 2015, Stieg was named President of the Brain Tumor Foundation [11]
In 2015, Stieg was named President of the Brain Tumor Foundation,[12] and he now serves as a past president of that organization. In 2020, Dr Stieg was named the first Margaret and Robert J. Hariri, MD ’87, PhD ’87 Professor of Neurological Surgery.[13]
In 2018, Stieg was appointed to the New York State Athletic Commission.[14]
