WashU Neurosurgery made a significant impact at AANS this year!
From delivering outstanding presentations and directing immersive, hands-on Practical Clinics to receiving notable awards and exploring some favorite local restaurants, our team’s experience was filled with teaching, connecting, and memorable moments.






WashU Neurosurgery at AANS 2025: Key Highlights
- Many of our team members presented, lectured, or taught courses.
- Alum and upcoming faculty member Anna Huguenard, MD, won the “Natus Fellow/Resident NCC Award” for her work on non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation for patients following subarachnoid hemorrhage.
- Current PGY5 Resident, David Giles, MD, won the “Best Oral Poster Presentation – Tumor Section” for his work with Dr. Albert Kim on the immune response to laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT) in glioma.
- Numerous WashU affiliates were in attendance.



We also had a fantastic turnout at the WashU Alumni event at AANS! It was amazing to see so many familiar faces and reconnect with our wonderful community. Thanks to everyone who joined us and made the event a success!






Proud of our achievements and excited for the future!
